ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
This study was to compare the predictive validity of Norton Scale(1962), Cubbin & Jackson Scale(1991), and Song & Choi Scale(1991).METHOD:
Data were collected three times per week from 48-72hours after admission based on the four pressure sore risk assessment scales and a skin assessment tool for pressure sore on 112 intensive care unit(ICU) patients in a educational hospital Ulsan during Dec, 11, 2000 to Feb, 10, 2001. Four indices of validity and area under the curve(AUC) of receiver operating characteristic(ROC) were calculated.RESULT:
Based on the cut off point presented by the developer, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value were as follows Norton Scale 97%, 18%, 35%, 93% respectively; Cubbin & Jackson Scale 89%, 61%, 51%, 92%, respectively; and Song & Choi Scale 100%, 18%, 36%, 100% respectively. Area under the curves(AUC) of receiver operating characteristic(ROC) were Norton Scale .737, Cubbin & Jackson Scale .826, Song & Choi Scale .683.CONCLUSION:
The Cubbin & Jackson Scale was found to be the most valid pressure sore risk assessment tool. Further studies on patients with chronic conditions may be helpful to validate this finding.
