The risk of pressure sores developing in patients admitted with acute conditions was assessed by a simple risk score system based on age, reduced mobility, incontinence, pronounced emaciation, redness over bony prominences, unconsciousness, dehydration, and paralysis in a prospective clinical study. During seven months in 1977, 600 of 3571 patients were classified as at risk. Of these 35 (5.8%) developed sores compared with five (0.2%) of those not at risk. The results of this study compared with those over the same period in 1976 show that close observation of at-risk patients and early detection of pressure sores prevents their development.
在一项前瞻性临床研究中，通过一个基于年龄、活动能力下降、失禁、明显消瘦、骨隆突处发红、意识不清、脱水和瘫痪的简单风险评分系统，对急性病入院患者发生压疮的风险进行了评估。1977年的七个月期间，3571名患者中有600名被归类为有风险。其中35名（5.8%）出现了压疮，而无风险患者中只有5名（0.2%）出现压疮。与1976年同期的结果相比，本研究结果表明，对有风险患者的密切观察和压疮的早期发现可预防其发生。
