Abbreviation: DF = degree freedom, SE = Standard Error, OR = odds ratio, and CI = confidence interval.
Scores were derived as the mean of total across 3 days prior.
There was an overlap in the interventions that address low subscale scores (i.e. higher risk) for activity, mobility, friction-shear and sensory perception. The friction-shear intervention set on the PUPI tool incorporated all of these interventions and was therefore used for this analysis.
