Article Synopsis
- Preventing pressure ulcers is a major challenge for healthcare providers, especially when assessing older adults' risk using existing tools.
- A systemic review and meta-analysis of 29 studies evaluated three risk assessment tools: Braden, Norton, and Waterlow Scales, revealing moderate accuracy but with significant variability among the studies.
- The findings indicate that commonly used screening tools have limitations in validity and accuracy for older adults, largely due to differing cut-off points used in the Braden Scale.
