The epidemiology of pressure sores.

J Bridel.   

Abstract

This article presents details of epidemiological studies undertaken to assess the extent of pressure sores in hospital. Both prevalence and incidence studies, which reveal the full extent of the problem and its predisposing factors, are discussed. The author also outlines the statistical terms used by epidemiologists as well as general considerations which must be made in the interpretation of epidemiological studies.
