Singular Predictors of Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injuries Under Intensive Care: A Retrospective Cohort Study in a Medium-Complexity Hospital.

A retrospective cohort study of hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPI) reported an incidence rate of 34.3% based on 582 medical records of adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of a medium-complexity public hospital in 2017 and 2018.
