The aim of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of the Evaruci scale in assessing the risk of pressure injury in patients under intensive care, and to compare it with the Braden Scale. The research took place in an adult Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a university hospital. The scales were applied in the first 48 hours of ICU admission and were followed up daily throughout the hospitalization period. Thirty individuals participated, 60% men. Mean age was 63.5±18.6 years, mean ICU time 4.3±3.5 days. In patients with PI, Braden showed a high mean risk on the first and last day of hospitalization, and on the first day there was no difference in risk between patients who developed PI and those who did not (p=1.59). Eruci showed moderate risk of PI on the first day of hospitalization and moderate risk on the last day, but there was no difference between patients with PI and without PI (p=0.36). Significance of Braden was observed on the last day of hospitalization (p<0.05) and of Evaruci on the first day (p<0.00), suggesting that Evaruci was better at predicting risk at the beginning of hospitalization and Braden was better at the end of hospitalization. It was concluded that the Braden and Evaruci scales had different performance considering the beginning and end of hospitalization, suggesting that Evaruci should be used on the first day of hospitalization and after using the Braden scale.
