Abstract
Background: We aimed to compare risk of hospital-acquired sacral pressure injuries (HASPI) in COVID-19+ and COVID-19- patients. Method: Single-institution, multi-hospital, retrospective cohort review of all hospitalizations from March 1st, 2020 to September 1st, 2020. Patients with new-onset HASPI (stage II or greater) were included in our study. Patients with chronic history of sacral ulcerations or patients with ulceration present on admission were excluded. Patient demographics, baseline ulceration risk (based on Braden risk assessment), HASPI characteristics, laboratory parameters, and ulcer-associated morbidity were collected.
