Braden score

1. Thenar muscle thickness is associated with Braden score in humans (hospitalized patients; unadjusted correlation) (rho = 0.560; 95% CI, 0.340–0.729).

   “Higher TMT correlated with higher MNA-SF (rho = 0.760; 95% CI, 0.595–0.859; P < 0.001) and Braden scores (rho = 0.560; 95% CI, 0.340–0.729; P < 0.001)”

1. Braden score predicts mortality in humans (atrial fibrillation, admitted to intensive care) (60-day (40.6% vs. 17.8%), and 90-day mortality (43.3% vs. 21.0%)).

   “high-risk patients (Braden score ≤10 at ICU admission) had significantly higher frailty prevalence (65.1% vs. 55.9%), 60-day (40.6% vs. 17.8%), and 90-day mortality (43.3% vs. 21.0%)”

1. Braden score predicts frailty in humans (atrial fibrillation, admitted to intensive care) (1.35-fold (95% CI 1.22-1.50)).

   “multivariable analysis confirmed a 1.35-fold increased frailty risk in high-risk patients (95% CI=1.22-1.50, p < 0.001)”

1. Braden score is linked with a lower risk of 90-day mortality in humans (critically ill patients with dementia in the ICU) (adjusted HR: 0.92, 95% CI: 0.87-0.98, p = 0.006).

   “Braden score at ICU admission was inversely associated with 90-day mortality risk after adjustment for demographics, severity of illness, treatment and medications, delirium, and sepsis”
