Braden Scale
Pressure Ulcer Risk
For education. Check every result.
Anatium is a study resource, not medical advice. Nothing here is a diagnosis, a prescription or a substitute for a clinician who has seen the patient. Check every number against a current local protocol before it touches anyone, and never act on a result you cannot reproduce yourself.
How it is calculated
Braden scale: sensory perception, moisture, activity, mobility, nutrition (1-4 each) and friction/shear (1-3). Lower is worse, which is the opposite of most scores here. It predicts risk; it does not measure damage already present, so inspect the skin as well.
About
Predicts pressure ulcer risk from six domains. LOWER is worse, which is the opposite of most scores here. It predicts risk rather than measuring damage already present.
