Risk constellation of hospital acquired pressure injuries in patients with a spinal cord injury/ disorder - focus on time since spinal cord injury/ disorder and patients' age.
Article in Spinal cord, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
STUDY
designProspective cohort study.
objectivesThe aim of this study was to evaluate how time since spinal cord injury/disorder (SCI/D) and patients' age influence risk constellation for hospital acquired pressure injuries (HAPI) in patients with a SCI/D.
settingAcute care and rehabilitation clinic specialized in SCI/D.
methodsWe collected patients' characteristics and 85 risk factors for HAPI development in adults with SCI/D with at least one HAPI during their inpatient stay between August 2018 and December 2019. We analyzed patients' characteristics and HAPI risk factors using descriptive statistics according to time since SCI/D ( < 1 year, 1-15 years, > 15 years) and patients' age (18-35 years, 35-65 years, > 65 years).
resultsWe identified 182 HAPI in 96 patients. Comparing patients with SCI/D < 1 year with the other groups, autonomic dysreflexia (p < 0.001), abnormal body temperature (p = 0.001), hypertensive episode (p = 0.005), and pneumonia (p < 0.001) occurred more frequently; mean hemoglobin (p < 0.001), albumin (p = 0.002) and vitamin D levels (p = 0.013) were significantly lower, and patients with time since SCI/D < 1 year scored fewer points (10-12) on the Braden Scale (p < 0.001). Comparing groups per patients' age, only the SCIPUS score was higher in patients > 65 years compared to the other two groups (p = 0.002).
conclusionsDifferent risk factor constellation seem to be underlying HAPI development with more differences in patients time since SCI/D than patients' age. Awareness of these differences in risk factor constellation depending on time since SCI/D in these patients might lead to different HAPI prevention strategies.
