In 1993 a preliminary survey was conducted in the Hospital of Gonesse to examine pressure sore prevalence. The averages obtained showed that 5.4% of patients in hospital suffer from pressure sores. This prompted a further investigation involving 12,050 patients: 5.2% were found to have pressure sores. Patients with pressure sores were significantly older (76.4 +/- 14 years) than the average age of patients in the study, and 42% of pressure sores were found in patients with neurological pathology. The majority of patients (57%) had a single pressure sore. Most were grade I lesions (38%). The greatest number of pressure sores were found on the medium and long-stay wards. A nationwide complementary survey is now being undertaken to confirm these overall results.
1993年，贡内斯医院进行了一项初步调查，以检查压疮患病率。所获得的平均值表明，住院患者中有5.4%患有压疮。这促使进行了一项涉及12050名患者的进一步调查：发现5.2%的患者患有压疮。患有压疮的患者明显比研究中患者的平均年龄大（76.4±14岁），并且42%的压疮患者患有神经病理学疾病。大多数患者（57%）有单个压疮。大多数为I级损伤（38%）。在中长期病房发现的压疮数量最多。目前正在进行一项全国性的补充调查，以确认这些总体结果。
