Albumin administration prevents the onset of pressure ulcers in intensive care unit patients.

Only registered users can translate articles

Pressure ulcers (PUs) are a common problem in critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care units (ICUs) and they account for more than 70% of patients with low serum albumin at admission. The aim of this study was to test the efficacy of intravenous administration of albumin in patients

An evaluation of serum albumin and the sub-scores of the Waterlow score in pressure ulcer risk assessment.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND From previous work serum albumin is predictive of pressure ulcers over and above the Waterlow score. However the sub-scores of the Waterlow score were not available, and the accuracy of calculation of the total score was poor. This study has used sub-scores and is an order of magnitude

Preoperative Albumin Alone is Not a Predictor of 30-Day Outcomes in Pressure Ulcer Patients: A Matched Propensity-Score Analysis of the 2006-2011 NSQIP Datasets.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND While there has been a great deal of literature describing the relationship between nutritional status and development of pressure ulcers, statistically rigorous studies analyzing the relationship between hypoalbuminemia and outcomes are lacking. METHODS The American College of Surgeons'

Low serum albumin levels, confusion, and fecal incontinence: are these risk factors for pressure ulcers in mobility-impaired hospitalized adults?

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Studies of risk factors for clinically significant pressure ulcers in the hospital have been limited by the small number of study subjects that develop pressure ulcers, resulting in contradictory findings regarding some risk factors. OBJECTIVE To determine if three risk factors (low serum

An investigation into the use of serum albumin in pressure sore prediction.

OBJECTIVE To ascertain the relevance of serum albumin and serum sodium as predictors of pressure sores in addition to the Waterlow score. METHODS Observational study of patients at risk of developing decubitus ulcers. METHODS Staffordshire, in the midlands of the United Kingdom. METHODS 773 elderly

Low serum albumin level as an independent risk factor for the onset of pressure ulcers in intensive care unit patients.

Only registered users can translate articles

Critically ill patients are at high risk of developing pressure ulcers (PUs) and patients who develop PUs remain significantly longer in the intensive care unit (ICU) with significantly increased morbidity and mortality. Therefore, the identification of patients at truly increased risk is important.

Relation between the serum albumin level and nutrition supply in patients with pressure ulcers: retrospective study in an acute care setting.

Only registered users can translate articles

This retrospective study examined the validity of the commonly used serum albumin level as an indicator of nutrition status of patients with pressure ulcer(s), particularly because the serum albumin level is affected by various factors and may not be specific to malnutrition. Specifically, we

Serum albumin level is a limited nutritional marker for predicting wound healing in patients with pressure ulcer: two multicenter prospective cohort studies.

OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the predictive validity of serum albumin for pressure ulcer healing, according to patient condition and wound characteristics. METHODS This study was a secondary analysis of pooled data from two multicentre cohort studies undertaken in 2005 and 2007. All adult

Estimating the risk of pressure ulcer development: is it truly evidence based?

Only registered users can translate articles

The aim of the current method of screening patients is to identify risk factors that are considered to cause, or contribute to, pressure ulcer (PU) development. Yet screening has not resulted in a reduction in pressure ulcer development. The literature was reviewed to identify the level of evidence

Do vascular risk factors contribute to the prevalence of pressure ulcer in veterans with spinal cord injury?

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE The overall goal of this observational study was to determine whether modifiable vascular risk factors contribute to the prevalence of pressure ulcers (PrU) in veterans with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). BACKGROUND Given the increasingly limited financial resources in hospitals and

A retrospective comparison of perforator and rotation flaps for the closure of extensive Stage IV sacral pressure ulcers.

Only registered users can translate articles

Wound coverage using a flap, most commonly a perforator or rotation flap, often is required for the closure of extensive sacral pressure ulcers. To assess the duration of wound healing and postsurgical complications following two types of surgical closure procedure, perforator and rotation flaps, a

[Correlation between body mass index and development of pressure ulcers in intensive care medicine].

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate the association between body mass index (BMI), incidence and severity of pressure ulcers (PU) in patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), and describe the differential prognosis of patients with PU and factors that modify it. METHODS Case-control

Nutritional status, pressure sores, and mortality in elderly patients with cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

This prospective study aimed to determine differences in nutritional status, incidence of pressure sores, and incidence of mortality between two groups, one composed of 33 elderly, institutionalized patients with cancer and the other a matched group of 33 patients without cancer. Subjects with

A pilot study evaluating protein abundance in pressure ulcer fluid from people with and without spinal cord injury.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To determine whether the biochemistry of chronic pressure ulcers differs between patients with and without chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) through measurement and comparison of the concentration of wound fluid inflammatory mediators, growth factors, cytokines, acute phase proteins, and
