Description
Hanna Järbrink and four colleagues reviewed the medical records of 270 patients aged sixty-five and over admitted with physical trauma to a Swedish level-one trauma centre between 2020 and 2024. Published in 2026, the study counted nurse-sensitive adverse events, harms closely tied to nursing care, using a modified trigger tool.
Just over a quarter of patients suffered at least one such event, giving an overall rate near thirty-eight events per hundred admissions. Hospital-acquired infections were the most common harm, followed by overfilled bladders and pressure injuries. Frailty raised the odds, and length of stay emerged as the strongest predictor of all. The authors urge earlier risk spotting and more reliable preventive nursing for this vulnerable group.
