Abstract Objective: To compare the neonatal skin risk assessment scale (NSRAS) and neonatal/infant Braden Q scale (N/I Braden-Q scale) in predicting the formation of pressure injury (PI) in the NICU. Methods:A continuous convenient sample of 106 infants were included from a hospital of Zhejiang Province. Scale score and skin examination were performed on the newborns every day. A self-made questionnaire was used for data collection and the occurrence of PI was taken as the end point of the outcome. Results: PI developed in 13 neonates(12.3%), which distributed at nose (8 cases), posterior occipital (3 cases), underlip (1 case) and sacrococcygeal (1 case). The scores of Cronbach’s coefficient of NSRAS on the day of admission, 24 h before PI occurred/interim hospitalization and the highest day ranged from 0.539, 0.557, 0.579, while the Cronbach’s coefficient scores of N/I Braden-Q scale ranged from 0.559, 0.568, 0.679. The area under the ROC curve of NSRAS ranged from 0.539 to 0.737, and that of N/I Braden-Q scale ranged from 0.725 to 0.875. Conclusion: N/I Braden-Q scale has higher predictive validity than NSRAS, and is more suitable for predicting PI formation in NICU neonates.
