Predictive validity of the Braden scale compared to other scales for detecting pressure ulcers.
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2017-12-03) Alarcón Jauregui, Mirtha Luisa; Contreras Talledo, Paola Isabel; Bonilla Asalde, César Antonio
Objective: To systematize the evidence regarding the predictive validity of the Braden Scale compared to other scales in the detection of pressure ulcers in critically ill patients. Methodology: A systematic, observational, and retrospective review, with the search restricted to full-text articles. The selected articles underwent critical reading, using the GRADE evaluation to identify their level of evidence. A total of 10 articles were selected, with 20% (3) from Brazil, 20% (2) from Germany, 20% (2) from Spain, and 10% (1) from the Czech Republic, India, Korea, and Sweden, respectively. The majority of studies were cross-sectional, with 40% (4) conducted in Brazil, Sweden, and Germany. Cohort studies accounted for 40% (4), conducted in Brazil, India, the Czech Republic, and Spain. Additionally, 20% (2) of the studies were systematic reviews and meta-analyses from Korea and Spain. Results: Of the total articles analyzed, 60% (6) state that the Braden Scale demonstrates a higher predictive validity for identifying the risk of developing pressure ulcers, as it shows a sensitivity greater than 80%, specificity greater than 70%, positive predictive value greater than 50%, and negative predictive value greater than 50%. Meanwhile, 40% of the studies identified other scales that predict the risk of pressure ulcers, such as the Norton Scale (20% – 2/10 articles), the Waterlow Scale (10% – 1/10 articles), and the RAPS Scale (10% – 1/10 articles). Conclusion: Based on the reviewed articles, the Braden Scale demonstrates higher predictive value and should therefore be adopted as the standard scale for identifying patients at risk of developing pressure ulcers.
