The analysis, based on data from the 2006 Nationwide Inpatient Sample, a nationally representative database of US hospital stays, raises questions about the quality of patient care (http://www.hcup-us.ahrq.gov/reports/statbriefs/sb64.pdf). In more than 90% of the cases, patients were admitted for the treatment of another disorder and a pressure ulcer was a secondary condition, suggesting it may have developed during the hospital stay.
