eng	Incontinence and hospital-acquired PI: A multi-center cross-sectional study	BACKGROUND: Incontinence (INC), whether urinary, fecal, or double incontinence, is one of the associated factors for the development of pressure injuries (PIs). Several descriptive studies are available that focus on INC and PIs. However, the exploration of the association between INC and hospital-acquired PIs through correlational analysis is missing. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the association between INC and hospital-acquired PIs through regression analysis. METHODS: The 2017 Austrian version of the “Prevalence Measurement of Care Problems” (including also the Care Dependency Scale), an annually repeated cross-sectional survey, was used. Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression were used for secondary data analysis. RESULTS: Thirty-seven Austrian hospitals including 209 wards participated. Of all patients available at the measurement day (N = 4074), 2955 took part in the study, mainly from internal and surgical wards. The majority was female, on average 66 years old and completely care-independent. About every fifth person was incontinent (20.1%), and the hospital- acquired PI prevalence was 1.3%. Of those persons who were incontinent, 3.9% had a hospital-acquired PI (23/595). We could not identify a statistically significant association between INC and hospital-acquired PIs. However, we could identify a statistically significant association between the degree of care dependency and spinal cord injuries with hospital-acquired PIs. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION: Our results indicate no association between INC and hospital-acquired PIs. One explanation could be the small sample, with only 600 persons suffering from INC and only 38 from a hospital-acquired PI. Further research on a larger data set on an international level is required.	Incontinence; and; hospital-acquired; multi-center; cross-sectional; study
