This research paper: A 4 page review of a research study seeking to determine the usefulness of standard risk assessment scales. The authors note that the Barthel Index provides an alternative to both the Norton and Braden scales, particularly among an older population. As pressure ulcers are increasingly common with advancing age, use of the Barthel Index could prove to be of particular appropriateness. The clinical significance of the study is that both the Norton and Braden scales are useful among the general hospital population and provide an indication of risk that is reliable enough to be used as the basis of prevention strategies. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
