Characteristics of Patients With Community‐Acquired Pressure Injuries

Patients with CAPI were classified into three clusters and validity of the classification was assessed. Patients who had 'maintained ADL', as well as cognitive status, were expected to be capable of self-care and self-management. Patients with 'low ADL' were characterised by insufficient self-care or home care resulting in having CAPI and would require aged care service. Patients who were at 'very high risk' of having PI were characterised by incurring significant burden on caregivers and need of medical services that prospects terminal care.
