Association between nutrition risk and oral mucosal membrane pressure injury in critically ill adults requiring endotracheal tube placement: A prospective cohort study
Nutrition risk was an independent risk factor for oral mucosal membrane pressure injuries in critically ill patients with endotracheal tubes. Medical nutrition therapy reduced this risk, particularly with longer durations. Additionally, elevated procalcitonin levels were associated with a higher risk, highlighting the role of inflammation in pressure injury development.
