- Abstract
This article is a report on a study to develop a pressure ulcer risk assessment scale for home care clients. Multiple linear regressions were used to model scores on the Braden assessment scale and subcales, using data from the Resident Assessment Instrument—Home Care (RAI-HC) assessment. In Phase 1, data from 510 home care clients who received both assessments within a 14-day period were used to develop the models. Suitable “proxy Braden” models were constructed for the Braden scale and all subscales except for the nutrition subscale. In Phase 2, receiver operating curves revealed the proxy Braden to be a significantly better predictor than the RAI-HC Pressure Ulcer Risk Scale (PURS) of pressure ulcer development in home care clients.
