ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Most patients present at high risk of perioperative pressure injury. Patients may experience severe agony from pressure injuries, which can also result in potentially fatal infections and increase hospital stays and medical expenses. This is a critical issue that requires immediate attention and resolution.
METHODS: From December 2019 to August 2023, 335 patients receiving Da vinci surgery in a grade A tertiary hospital were chosen to serve as the participants, and univariate analysis and patients undergoing Da vinci surgery had their risk factors for pressure injuries screened using logistic regression analysis, and in patients having Da vinci surgery, a pressure injury risk prediction model was developed.
RESULTS: Among 335 patients, 195 patients acquired pressure injuries, and the results of logistic regression analysis showed that age, length of surgery, BMI, and nasogastric tube (NGT) were independent risk factors for pressure injuries (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: With great risk prediction ability, the risk prediction model for pressure injuries in patients undergoing Da vinci surgery established in this study can be used as an effective assessment tool.
