Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing (PUSH)

Length X	0	1	2	3	4	5	Sub-score 1
Breadth (cm2)	0	<0.3	0.3–0.6	0.7–1.0	1.1–2.0	2.1–3.0
		6	7	8	9	10
		3.1–4.0	4.1–8.0	8.1–12.0	12.1–24	>24.0
Exudate Amount	0	1	2	3			Sub-score 2
	None	Light	Moderate	Heavy
Tissue Type	0	1	2	3	4		Sub-score 3
	Closed	Epithelial tissue	Granulation tissue	Slough	Necrotic tissue
Total PUSH scorea							= (1 + 2 + 3)

^aPUSH is composed of three components, viz. ulcer area, exudate amount, and tissue type, and final score is the culmination of the three sub-scores
