Development of a computerized data base to evaluate pressure ulcers. 1990

C A Salzberg, and A Harmatz, and D W Byrne, and G D'Ariano, and J A Petro

A computerized data base for collecting information on patients with pressure ulcers was developed following a review of selected literature including Allman (1986), Bergstrom (1987), Barbenel (1977), Reichert (1986), Black (1987) and others. The data base was piloted, revised, and used for data collection on 103 patients admitted to two hospitals. Standardized data allowed for correlations of spinal cord injury (SCI) and location of pressure ulcers. Sacral ulcers were more prevalent with patients who had SCI at C4-T1 while ischial ulcers were more common with SCI at T11-L1. Some of the other correlations differ from prior research and warrant further investigation with a larger sample size from multiple institutions.
