Hi, generally public is not aware enough of this problem. So called pressure ulcers are much greater health problem than it was thought before. The under-diagnosis and under reporting of pressure ulcers is widely spread, so it is not easy to determine how to deal with it. Risk of possible complications is even greater if we know that patients are often not even aware of their state. In the hospitals the
prevalence rate for
pressure ulcer is about 10%. Since, it is not leading cause of death, it is seriously underestimated.
