Calibration power of the Braden scale in predicting pressure ulcer development
Journal of Wound Care, 2016Objective:Calibration is the degree of correspondence between the estimated probability produced by a model and the actual observed probability. The aim of this study was to investigate the calibration power of the Braden scale in predicting pressure ulcer development (PU).Method:A retrospective analysis was performed among consecutive patients in 2013.

Reliability and Validity of the Braden Scale in the Home Care Setting
Journal of Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nursing, 1995The Agency for Health Care Policy and Research guidelines for prediction and prevention of pressure ulcers have encouraged the use of risk assessment tools to identify those patients most likely to acquire a pressure ulcer. The Braden Scale has been widely tested and shown to be valid for use in acute and long-term care settings.

An interrater reliability study of the Braden scale in two nursing homes
International Journal of Nursing Studies, 2008Adequate risk assessment is essential in pressure ulcer prevention. Assessment scales were designed to support practitioners in identifying persons at pressure ulcer risk. The Braden scale is one of the most extensively studied risk assessment instruments, although the majority of studies focused on validity rather than reliability.The first aim was to

Interpreting interrater reliability coefficients of the Braden scale: A discussion paper
International Journal of Nursing Studies, 2008There are many studies investigating psychometric properties of the Braden scale, a scale that predicts the risk for pressure ulcers. The main focus of these studies is validity as opposed to reliability. In order to estimate the degree of interrater reliability a literature review revealed that numerous statistical approaches and coefficients were ...

Predictive Validity of the Braden Scale Among Black and White Subjects
Nursing Research, 2002The Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Sore Risk (Braden Scale) has been tested for predictive validity, but the cut-off scores for Blacks has not been compared to White populations.The purpose of this brief report is to determine if the Braden Scale predicts pressure ulcer risk similarly for Blacks and Whites.A multisite study of the predictive ...
