Development of A Surgery-Related Pressure Injury Risk Assessment Scale (SURPIRAS): A Methodological Study.
Article in Journal of clinical nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
aimTo develop the Surgery-Related Pressure Injury Risk Assessment Scale (SURPIRAS) and conduct validity and reliability analyses.
designA methodological study.
methodsData were collected from 200 patients with "Patient Identification Form", "Postoperative Patient Assessment Form", "SURPIRAS", "Risk Assessment Scale for Injuries Related to Surgical Position (ELPO)" and "Perioperative Pressure Injury Risk Assessment Scale (Munro Scale)". Number, percentage and mean, standard deviation were calculated in descriptive statistics. Intraclass correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the validity and reliability of the scale to determine content validity, criterion-related validity and interobserver agreement. The scale's cut-off point, sensitivity and selectivity values were calculated. The study was prepared according to the STARD publication checklist, following EQUATOR guidelines.
resultsPressure injuries occurred in 20.5% of the patients. The total score of the SURPIRAS was found to be statistically significant in terms of postoperative pressure injury development. A positive correlation was found between the developed scale and ELPO and Munro Scale. The strength of this correlation is higher between SURPIRAS and Munro Scale. The cut-off point for the SURPIRAS was determined as 27, and patients with a total score of 28 points and above were classified as high risk.
conclusionIt was determined that the SURPIRAS is a valid and reliable measurement tool in determining the risk of pressure injury in surgical patients in the Turkish population. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: The first thing to do to prevent pressure injuries in surgical patients is risk assessment. The study provides a new contribution to the literature because it is the development of a risk assessment scale. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Patients were included in the study after being informed about the study before surgery and giving written and verbal consent. Patients were monitored for pressure injury by the researchers after surgery.
