Abstract

Dear Editor,
Pressure injuries in intensive care unit (ICU) patients are associated with unfavourable outcomes (Labeau et al., 2021). Models for predicting ICU-acquired pressure injury have been developed using machine learning and classic regression techniques, respectively resulting in areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.79 (Alderden et al., 2018) and 0.89 (Ladios-Martinet al., 2020), but also resulting in large differences among predictors identified.
