Background summary
Single centre, observational study to test the hypothesis that obesity atrributes to the risk for development of pressure ulcers and wound infections in the ICU. The effect of obesity on the time to development of awound infection or pressure ulcer, the severity and time to recovery is assessed. The known risk factors are registered to analyse the specific effect on the hypothesis.
Study objective
Patients with a BMI > 30 kg/m2 in the ICU have a higher incidence of pressure ulcers and wound infections in the ICU compared with patients with a BMI 18-25kg/m2. They develop them sooner during admittance and the severity and time to recovery are higher in the patients with obesity.
Study design
