Predictive validity of the EVARUCI scale to evaluate risk for pressure injury in critical care patients.

Objective: To compare the predictive capacity of the current risk assessment scale for pressure ulcers in intensive care (EVARUCI), translated into Brazilian Portuguese, using the Braden scale.

Method: This cross-sectional study collected prospective data from adult patients in three intensive care units. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and precision-recall curve (PR curve) were used to analyse the predictive capacity for pressure injury (PI) using both predictive values and odds ratios (ORs).
