Pressure ulcers represent a major challenge to patient safety in the health care context, presenting high incidence (from 7% to 14% in Spain) and increased financial costs (€400-600 million/year) in medical treatment. Moreover, they are a significant predictor of mortality. The prevention of pressure ulcers in long-term care centers and patients' own homes is proposed as a priority indicator of health care quality. Early stage risk assessment and database recording are both crucial aspects of prevention, classification, diagnosis, and treatment.
This project proposes a 3-year study of immobilized patients residing in the Granada-Metropolitan Primary Healthcare District (DSGM) and monitored via the Pressure Ulcer Information and Registration System (SIRUPP, Spanish initials). The project aims to estimate the incidence of PUs among immobilized elderly patients, analyze the health-related quality of life of these patients by using the Pressure Ulcer Quality of Life (PU-QoL) instrument in a sample of 250 patients, determine the average time to complete wound healing, estimate the rate of pressure ulcers-associated mortality, and assess the predictive value of the Braden and Mini Nutritional Assessment risk measurement scales in a sample of 1700 patients.
The DSGM runs SIRUPP, which is linked to patients' electronic health records. Currently, 17,104 immobilized patients are monitored under this system. Health-related quality of life will be measured by patient self-reports using the Spanish Pressure Ulcer Quality of Life questionnaire, following cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric validation with respect to the English-language version.
The project commenced in June 2017 and is expected to conclude in April 2020.
This study addresses two main health outcomes-the time needed for wound healing and the mortality associated with pressure ulcers-both of which might be accounted for by variations in clinical practice and the health-related quality of life of patients with pressure ulcers.

在医疗环境中,压疮对患者安全构成重大挑战,发病率较高(西班牙为7%至14%),且医疗费用增加(每年4亿至6亿欧元)。此外,压疮还是死亡率的重要预测指标。在长期护理中心和患者家中预防压疮被视为医疗质量的优先指标。早期风险评估和数据库记录是预防、分类、诊断和治疗的关键环节。
本项目提议对居住在格拉纳达-大都会初级医疗保健区(DSGM)并通过压疮信息与登记系统(SIRUPP,西班牙语首字母缩写)进行监测的卧床患者开展为期3年的研究。该项目旨在估计卧床老年患者中压疮的发病率,通过对250名患者样本使用压疮生活质量(PU-QoL)工具分析这些患者的健康相关生活质量,确定伤口愈合的平均时间,估计压疮相关死亡率,并评估Braden和简易营养评估风险测量量表在1700名患者样本中的预测价值。
DSGM运行SIRUPP,该系统与患者的电子健康记录相关联。目前,有17104名卧床患者在此系统下接受监测。健康相关生活质量将通过患者使用西班牙文压疮生活质量问卷进行自我报告来测量,该问卷经过跨文化改编并针对英文版进行了心理测量学验证。
该项目于2017年6月启动,预计于2020年4月结束。
本研究关注两个主要健康结果——伤口愈合所需时间和与压疮相关的死亡率——这两者可能都与临床实践的差异以及压疮患者的健康相关生活质量有关。
