In April 2006 the sixth study to survey the prevalence of nursing-related health problems in German hospitals and nursing homes was conducted. In total 7107 persons partcipated in this study. The pressure ulcer prevalence was calculated for the participants who were assessed to be at pressure ulcer risk. In nursing homes the prevalence was 8.3 percent, in hospitals 15.1 percent of patients at risk showed at least one pressure ulcer. Although the proportion of persons at risk did not alter during the last five years, the prevalence decreased within this time. Therefore one can assume that the quality of pressure ulcer prevention and therapy has been improved.
2006年4月，开展了第六项针对德国医院和养老院护理相关健康问题患病率的调查研究。共有7107人参与了此项研究。针对被评估有发生压疮风险的参与者计算了压疮患病率。在养老院中，患病率为8.3%，在医院里，有风险的患者中15.1%至少有一处压疮。尽管在过去五年中，有风险的人群比例没有变化，但在此期间患病率有所下降。因此，可以假定压疮预防和治疗的质量得到了改善。
