AI may predict bedsores before they form in ICU patients
NCT ID NCT07306143
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at medical records of 500 adult ICU patients to see if computer algorithms could predict who might develop pressure injuries (bedsores). The researchers used data like lab results and nursing notes to test different prediction methods. No treatments or patient contact were involved. The goal is to find better ways to identify at-risk patients early.
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 lead to better tools for predicting pressure injuries in ICU patients, helping nurses prevent them earlier.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center retrospective study using existing records, so the results may not apply to other hospitals or patients. It does not test any treatment.

Who is studied
Adult patients aged 18 years and older who were hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU) of a tertiary public hospital between October 10, 2020, and October 10, 2025 will be included in this retrospective observational study. The study population includes patients with a minimum ICU stay of 24 hours and complete, accessible electronic or paper-based medical records. Patients with missing or inconsistent medical record data or with a pressure injury diagnosed before or at the time of ICU admission will be excluded. All data will be collected retrospectively from existing medical records.
