Nutrition association with skin integrity and pressure injury in critically ill pediatric patients
CONCLUSIONS: A dearth of evidence exists describing associations between nutrition and disruption of skin integrity in pediatric critical illness. Children with dark skin are at increased risk, as manifestation and identification of disruption to skin integrity may not be recognized. Research is needed to describe these associations and the impact of nutrition on skin integrity, including differences of skin color.PMID:37721464 | DOI:10.1002/ncp.11063
