| Description | Aim: The aim is to analyse nationwide data from the Central Adverse Event Reporting System (CAERS) with special attention to pressure ulcers (PUs) in inpatient healthcare settings for 2018. Patients and methods: Data collected in CAER5 about reported PUs for 2018 were analysed in 408 inpatient healthcare settings. Statistical data analysis was performed using SPSS (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) version 22.0 at a significance level of P <= 0.05. Results: PUs are reported as the most common adverse events (total number of monitored hospitalized patients in 2018 was 2,693,008). The number of reported PUs varies depending on the type of hospitals. The place of origin / formation of PUs was monitored by 249 healthcare facilities who reported a total of 45,994 adverse events - PU (of which 36.7% were originated during hospitalisation period and 633% prior to hospitalization). The differences in prevalence of PUs were verified in relation to the number of health workers per patient, number of patients per bed and staff/ bed ratio. Conclusion: PUs are reported as the most common adverse events in central adverse event reporting system in which reporting is obligatory for all inpatient healthcare settings in the Czech Republic. Reporting is based on uniform methodology. |
