Abstract
Objective: this study aimed to assess the incidence of prone-positioning pressure sores and its risk factors in patients admitted to intensive care units diagnosed with COVID-19. Methods: a six-month follow-up prospective cohort study (n=30) was conducted. Information regarding proning status, duration of prone position (PP), presence or absence of PPPS, and sociodemographic and clinical variables were collected. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed to compare the patients who developed or did not develop pressure sores. Poisson regression with robust variance was used for data analysis. Results: the mean PP time was 20.1 hours (SD=3.9). The incidence of PPPS was 70%, with the most common locations being the left chest, abdomen, cheek, and forehead. When comparing the groups with and without prone-positioning pressure sores, there was no difference between them (p>0.05). Conclusion: the incidence of prone-positioning pressure sores was not associated with any sociodemographic or clinical variable of the patients.
