Summary

This study tested whether a Spanish pressure injury risk scale, called EVARUCI, works well in Turkish intensive care units. Researchers translated it and checked its accuracy in 100 adult ICU patients without existing bedsores. The goal was to give nurses a reliable way to spot patients at risk and prevent painful pressure injuries.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could give Turkish ICU nurses a reliable tool to better predict and prevent pressure injuries in critically ill patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed validation study (100 patients) in a single country. The scale may not work as well in other settings or populations.
