RESUMO

Fractures of hip and femur are an emerging public health problem, associated with a high rate of mortality and morbidity worldwide, with a high impact on the quality of life of patients. The Pressure Ulcer by (PU) is a complication that can interfere to increase these rates. The study aimed to identify and characterize the patients who suffered from hip and femur fracture treated in a University Hospital from inside Paulista; check the incidence and prevalence of UP and describe the evolution of the injury until discharge; relate the presence of the UP clinical variables, including the risk to UP by Scale of Braden and the degree of independence for the Activities of Daily Living (AVD) by Katz Index, and examine the predictive value of the scores of the scale of Braden for this population. After approval by the Ethics Committee, were included in the sample 30 patients who agreed to participate. Data were collected at admission, at 1 postoperative day or on the 5th day of hospitalization and discharge. Participants were predominantly female (53.3%), white (76.7%), over 60 years of age (56.7%), literacy (60%) and retirees (33.3%). The most common anatomical location of the fracture was the lap of the femur The most common comorbidity was System Cardiac (53.3%). The average time between admission and surgery was 2.92 days. The total time of surgery ranged from 2 to 4 hours. The average length of stay was 14.20 days. The most common complication in the postoperative period was the confusion and agitation (66.7%). Regarding the functional independence for the AVD, 50% were totally dependent on the first and second evaluation, and 40% at the time of discharge. The likelihood for UP, the scoring average of Braden Scale at admission was 12,66 (SD: 2,52), the second time 13,73 (SD: 3,10) and the High 15.03 (SD: 3,83). For patients who had UP during hospitalization the scores were lower at all times (p 0.05). The prevalence of UP was 33.3% and 26.6% incidence. At the time of Discharge, of the 10 cases considered in the study of prevalence, 9 still had UP. In the analysis of the results by logistic regression identified that the covariates socio-demographic and clinical investigated only the score of the scale of Braden explained the occurrence of UP (p 0.05). The analysis of the predictive value of the scores of the scale of the test Braden Fisher identified that the lower the score on the scale, the greater the number of patients with UP in the second and third times (p 0.05).
