Performance of a Commonly Used Pressure Injury Risk Model Under Changing Incidence.

Background: Hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) cause patient harm and increase health care costs. We sought to evaluate the performance of the Braden QD Scale-associated changes in HAPI incidence.

Methods: Using electronic health records data from a quaternary children's hospital, we evaluated the association between Braden QD scores and patient risk of HAPI.
