Skin tear (ST) will prolong the hospitalisation time of an older person, increase the cost of medical expenses and the difficulty in care for nursing staff, and seriously affect the quality of life of the older person. Early identification and intervention of the elderly at risk of ST are key factors in preventing the occurrence of ST in older persons. At present, risk factors for ST in older persons have not been systematically evaluated, let alone summarised to analyse risk factors for ST in older persons. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aims to synthesise existing research on risk factors for ST in older populations.
The protocol is being reported by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols statement. On 17 September 2023, we will start literature search in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Medline, Chinese Scientific Journal Database, Wan Fang Data Knowledge Service Platform, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database. The language of the included literature is Chinese or English. Using RevMan V.5.4 software, we will perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the final set of included studies to synthesise the data and draw meaningful conclusions. The Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality will be used to assess the quality of the literature. The test will be used to test heterogeneity.
Ethical approval is not needed for this systematic review, as the study will not directly use information from human participants, and the data we use will be extracted from original studies. This systematic review and meta-analysis has been registered at the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO). Once the systematic review and meta-analysis have been completed, we will publish our study in an academic journal.

皮肤撕裂（ST）会延长老年人的住院时间，增加医疗费用成本以及护理人员的护理难度，并严重影响老年人的生活质量。对有ST风险的老年人进行早期识别和干预是预防老年人发生ST的关键因素。目前，尚未对老年人ST的危险因素进行系统评估，更不用说总结分析老年人ST的危险因素了。因此，本系统评价和荟萃分析旨在综合现有关于老年人群ST危险因素的研究。
本方案按照系统评价和荟萃分析方案的首选报告项目进行报告。2023年9月17日，我们将开始在PubMed、Embase、Web of Science、Cochrane图书馆、护理及相关健康文献累积索引、Medline、中国科学期刊数据库、万方数据知识服务平台、中国知网和中国生物医学文献数据库中进行文献检索。纳入文献的语言为中文或英文。使用RevMan V.5.4软件，我们将对最终纳入的研究进行系统评价和荟萃分析，以综合数据并得出有意义的结论。将使用纽卡斯尔-渥太华质量评估量表和医疗保健研究与质量机构来评估文献质量。将使用 检验来检验异质性。
本系统评价无需伦理批准，因为该研究不会直接使用来自人类参与者的信息，我们使用的数据将从原始研究中提取。本系统评价和荟萃分析已在国际系统评价前瞻性注册库（PROSPERO）注册。一旦系统评价和荟萃分析完成，我们将在学术期刊上发表我们的研究。
PROSPERO注册号：CRD42023460810。
