Predictive validity of the braden scale for pressure sore risk in a nursing home population
Abstract
The predictive validity of the Braden Scale and the timing of assessment for optimal prediction of pressure sore development (PS) were studied in a nursing home population. Subjects (N = 102) over age 19, free of PS and admitted within the previous 72 hr, were randomly selected from consecutive admissions to a skilled nursing facility. Subjects were assessed for risk and skin condition every 48 to 72 hr for 4 weeks. Twenty‐eight subjects (27.5%) developed a PS. A cut score of 18 used at the observation prior to the first recorded PS maximized prediction, producing a sensitivity of 79%, a specificity of 74%, a 54% predictive value of a positive test, 90% predictive value of a negative test, and 75% correct classification rate.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
