Psychometric properties of the Braden scale to assess pressure injury risk in intensive care: A systematic review

202421 citationsOpen accessUniversity of the Witwatersrand

Abstract

When used in ICU, the reliability, validity and reported cut-off scores of the Braden scale are variable. As a predictive tool, the scale should be used cautiously. In ICU, the value of the Braden scale resides in its ability to identify patients that are most at risk of developing a pressure injury and to implement preventative measures to mitigate identified risk factors.
