Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Development of pressure ulcer (PU) is complex and multifactorial. The association of a constituted PU and of clinical / biological major elements is demonstrated and justifies. Prevention of PU is an important health priority, one that requires clear identification of risk factors.
