Risk factors for hospital-acquired pressure injury in neurosurgery inpatients: a real-world prospective cohort study.
Observational study in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
This study aimed to ascertain the incidence, clinical characteristics, and risk factors of hospital-acquired pressure injuries in neurosurgery inpatients and to provide a reference for preventive care. Adhering to the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guidelines, we conducted a prospective cohort study involving 1,192 patients admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery at a grade A tertiary hospital in western China from April 2023 to March 2024. During a total of 14,091 patient-days of follow-up, the incidence density of hospital-acquired pressure injuries was 0.003 per patient-day, with a cumulative incidence of 3.6%. Standardized forms were utilized to collect demographic, clinical, laboratory, and pressure injury data. The study revealed that the buttocks (20 cases, 37%) and sacral region (13 cases, 24.1%) were the predominant sites of hospital-acquired pressure injuries, predominantly presenting as stage 1 (21 cases, 38.9%) and stage 2 (27 cases, 50%) pressure injuries. Edema (P = 0.014) and albumin (P = 0.049) were identified as independent risk factors for the development of hospital-acquired pressure injuries. The results of this study highlight the need to monitor patients' edema status and albumin levels, emphasize the importance of rapid control of acute inflammation, and suggest appropriate albumin supplementation to reduce the risk of hospital-acquired pressure injury.
