Search for: [Abstract = ".0350\). The statistical analysis demonstrated correlations between the risk of pressure ulcers and the following factors\: fever at admission \(p = 0.0179\) and during hospitalization \(p = 0.0297\), thin and paper\-like skin \(p < 0,00001\), urination to diapers \(p < 0,00001\), troubles with bowel movement control \(p < 0,00001\), protein level \(p < 0,00001\), albumin level \(p < 0,00001\), iron level \(p < 0,00001\), CRP \(p < 0,00001\), starvation, emaciation and underweight \(acc. to BMI\) \(p < 0,00001\), MNA malnutrition \(p < 0,00001\), severe malnutrition acc. to the albumin level criterion set by Bruno Szczygiel \(p < 0,00001\), diabetic and liquid\-nutritional diet \(p < 0,00001\), moderate and severe impairment \(acc. to AMTS\) \(p < 0,00001\), moderate impairment \(acc. to ADL\) \(p < 0,00001\), diabetes \(p = 0.0271\), respiratory system disorders \(p = 0.0049\) and psychoorganic syndrome \(p = 0.0048\). CONCLUSIONS. Each patient admitted to the hospital being over 65 years of age, with fever, limited mobility, mental impairment, coexisting diseases \(of the respiratory system and psychoorganic syndrome\), urinary and stool incontinence, should be assessed for the risk of pressure ulcers, and appropriate preventive measures should be introduced. Standard clinical chemistry tests, including albumin, protein, iron, hemoglobin and CRP should be considered in risk patients. Patients with pressure ulcers an"]
