An ideal pressure injury risk assessment scale should be able to distinguish patients with and without pressure injury risk. Therefore, pressure injury risk assessment scale should have sound reliabilities as indicated by high sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value (Jiang, 2015[1]). Sensitivity refers to the probability that patients who develop pressure injury are also at risk of pressure injury as indicated by the score of pressure injury risk assessment (Jiang, 2015[2]). Specificity indicates the probability that patients who do not develop pressure injury are also not at risk of pressure injury as indicated by the pressure injury risk assessment score. Both sensitivity and specificity range from 0 to 1, with a higher value indicating a higher sensitivity or specificity (Jiang...
