The Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Sore Risk (Braden Scale) was used for monthly assessment of PrI risk. The Braden Scale is composed of six subscales (five subscales rated from 1–4): (1) sensory perception, (2) moisture, (3) activity, (4) mobility, (5) nutrition, and (6) friction and shear (rated from 1–3) which are summed for a total score ranging from 6 to 23 (low scores indicate high risk for PrI development).34 A score of less than 18 is considered “at risk”35. Reliability has been previously reported for the PUD study33.
