A one day prevalence survey was performed in a University Hospital, with the aim of assessing the risk of developing a pressure sore by patients systematically assessed with the Waterlow Scale. Out of the 141 at risk patients, 16 had a pressure sore (11.3%). For six of them the sore was already present at admission so that the in hospital incidence was 7% (10 patients). Most at risk patients (74.4) were still cared on a standard mattress. The advantages and limits of prevalence surveys are discussed at the end of the three articles that present a prevalence survey, an incidence survey and the study of sentinel events.
在一家大学医院进行了一项为期一天的患病率调查，目的是评估通过沃特洛量表进行系统评估的患者发生压疮的风险。在141名有风险的患者中，16人患有压疮（11.3%）。其中6人在入院时就已经有压疮，因此院内发病率为7%（10名患者）。大多数有风险的患者（74.4%）仍使用标准床垫护理。在三篇文章的结尾讨论了患病率调查的优点和局限性，这三篇文章分别介绍了一项患病率调查、一项发病率调查和哨兵事件研究。
