Introduction: Inadequate nutritional status has been increasingly linked to the incidence and frequency of pressure injuries, given its pivotal role in the wound healing process. Extreme conditions, such as malnutrition and obesity amplify the risk of injury development. Objective: In this perspective, our study aimed to assess the sociodemographic, clinical, and nutritional characteristics of patients with pressure injuries. Method: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive, and observational study, conducted between February to September 2022, including hospitalized patients. Data collection encompassed medical records review and direct interviews with patients/caregivers. Several sociodemographic, clinical, nutritional, and biochemical parameters were evaluated. Thirty-seven patients with mean age of 65 years were included. They were mostly admitted to medical clinic wards. Results: Nutritional risk, as assessed by the Nutritional Risk Screening-2002, was found in 81.1%; meanwhile. 27% were classified as overweight, while 24.3% as underweight, based on body mass index. 56.7% exhibited malnutrition based on arm circumference (AC), 94.6% had anemia, and 86.5% hypoalbuminemia. In terms of nutritional intervention, 45.9% were undergoing oral nutritional therapy. The sacral region was the most frequent site of injuries (81%), with 64.8% classified as stage 2. Conclusion: Elevated nutritional risk was detected, with measurements of circumferences suggestive of muscle depletionand oral nutritional supplements was the first treatment choice in nutrition therapy. Our study underscores the importance of formulating comprehensive care plans, and implementing monitoring protocols for such patients within the hospital setting.
