Predicting Pressure Injury in Critical Care Patients: A Machine-Learning Model.

CONCLUSION: This machine-learning approach differs from other available models because it does not require clinicians to input information into a tool (eg, the Braden Scale). Rather, it uses information readily available in electronic health records. Next steps include testing in an independent sample and then calibration to optimize specificity.
