The Waterlow score (WS) is a validated composite tool that is commonly used by nursing staff in order to stratify risk of pressure sore development. 12,13 Efficacy of this tool as a predictor of morbidity and mortality of surgical patients has been studied, and its utility in predicting additional clinical indices such as length of hospital stay (LOS) have been demonstrated. 14 This tool is The Waterlow Assessment. The first of these two systems, the Waterlow Assessment, is the most popular pressure sore risk assessment and prevention tool in the UK. Easily understood by nurses dealing directly with patients, this scale uses a series of evaluations of different patient attributes, each receiving a score based on severity. 摘要: 目的 精简国际通用的Waterlow量表后获得改良版Waterlow量表，并对其进行临床验证。. 方法 运用属性约简方法回顾性分析204例病例样本，获得改良版Waterlow量表。. 然后选取2019年6—11月上海交通大学附属第一人民医院收治的249例住院患者进行前瞻性研究，计算 It has five categories (Table 1) to which a number score is assigned based on the descriptor terms. When the numbers are totalled, low risk is determined to be >18, medium risk from 14-18, and lower numbers indicate higher risk, with <10 considered very high risk 3. Waterlow Pressure Ulcer Prevention/Treatment Score. Background Waterlow scoring was introduced in the 1980s as a nursing tool to risk stratify for development of decubitus ulcers (pressure sores) and is commonly used in UK hospitals. Recent The Waterlow scale shows insufficient predictive validity and reliability in discriminating critical adults at risk of PI development. To further modify the items of the Waterlow scale, exploring specific risk factors for PI in the ICU and clarifying their impact degree was necessary.
