COVID-19 and Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injuries: A Systematic Review

CONCLUSIONS: This review identified that HAPI incidence was high among men who were COVID-19 positive, had longer hospital stays, experienced prone positioning, and had care teams without a skin and wound care expert. Future research should employ more robust methodology and focus on quantitative modeling to iteratively improve in-patient HAPI guidelines.PMID:36705972 | DOI:10.1097/01.ASW.0000919408.20614.61
