The prediction model for intraoperatively acquired pressure injuries in orthopedics based on the new risk factors: a real-world prospective observational, cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Orthopedic patients are at high risk for intraoperatively acquired pressure injuries (IAPI), which cause a serious issue and lead to high-expense burden in patient care. However, there are currently no clinically available scales or models to assess IAPI associated with orthopedic surgery. Methods: In this real-world, prospective observational, cross-sectional study, we identified pressure injuries (PI)-related risk factors using a systematic review approach and clinical practice experience. We then prepared a real-world cohort to identify and confirm risk factors using multiple modalities. We successfully identified new risk factors while constructing a predictive model for PI in orthopedic surgery. Results: We included 28 orthopedic intraoperative PI ri
