Pressure ulcer risk prediction in ICU
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a common ICU risk score (SAPS 2) can predict who will develop a pressure ulcer (bed sore) during their stay. If you are an adult admitted to the ICU without a pressure ulcer already, this trial may help improve care for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You have been admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU)
- You do not have any bed sores (pressure ulcers) when you arrive
- You can agree to take part in the study
- Your ICU stay is expected to be longer than 24 hours

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial uses an ultrasound score to see if it can predict which ICU patients will get bedsores (pressure injuries). It has two parts: first, they develop and test the score; second, they check if telling nurses the score helps prevent bedsores.
This study tests a special care plan to prevent bedsores (pressure injuries) in intensive care patients and looks at whether it helps reduce both how often they happen and the costs. It may help if you or a loved one is admitted to the ICU for at least 24 hours and does not already have a bedsore.
This trial looks at how blood pressure affects the development of bedsores in patients who are in the intensive care unit and unable to move. You may be able to join if you're between 18 and 70 years old, can't leave your bed, and do not already have bedsores.
This study looks at how blood oxygen levels and other measures relate to the risk of pressure injuries (bedsores) in people staying in the intensive care unit for at least 3 days. It may help find ways to prevent these injuries.
This trial is for ICU nurses who already perform skin checks for pressure injuries. It tests whether an AI tool can help them assess patients' skin more accurately and consistently. The study focuses on adult ICU patients without major skin problems.
This study watches how skin changes during ICU stays. Researchers will measure your skin multiple times to understand how critical illness affects its protective layer, which could help doctors prevent skin breakdown and pressure injuries.
