Description
Cheng Yin, Elias Mpofu, and Kaye Brock link hospital admission and stay length to sacral ulcers in rehab care in 2024. These ulcers raise death risk for older adults in rehab hospitals. Past work tied them to illness load and lifestyle. The role of admission route and stay length was unclear. The team used Texas discharge data for near thirty nine thousand patients over sixty.
Admission raised ulcer odds, and part of that effect ran through longer stays. Admission alone linked to about one and a half times the odds. Each added stretch of stay nudged odds up further. The authors urge sorting patients by admission source. That sorting may cut infection risk and deaths tied to ulcers.
