Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to predict the length of intensive care unit stay of patients treated in a tertiary general intensive care unit with the help of the Braden risk assesment scale, which is used to predict the risk of pressure ulcers. The main question it aims to answer is:

• Does high Braden scales predict the long lenght of stay? Braden scales of patients admitted to the intensive care unit were recorded every day.

Conditions

Intensive Care Unit ICU; Length of ICU Stay; Pressure Ulcer Risk; Scale Reliability Validity

Keywords

Braden risk assesment scale; Length of stay; ICU

Outcome Measures

• Mortality

  Time interval between patient intensive care unit admission to patient mortality. Estimated time is up to 52 weeks
