Abstract | Pressure ulcers are associated with multiple comorbidities and annually affect approximately 3 million Americans, directly accounting for approximately 60,000 deaths per year. Because patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are known to present with unique factors which impair wound healing, pressure ulcers diagnosed in ESRD patients might independently increase the risk of mortality. To investigate the association between pressure ulcer diagnosis and mortality risk in the ESRD population, a retrospective analysis of the United States Renal Data System (USRDS) database was performed. The records of 1,526,366 dialysis patients who began therapy between 1 January 2005 and 31 December 2018 were included.
