the waterlow score
The Waterlow score (or Waterlow scale) gives an estimated risk for the development of a pressure sore in a given patient. The tool was developed in 1985 by clinical nurse teacher Judy Waterlow. It is available both on a two-sided score card and on an app. Build / Weight for Height, which takes into account the patient’s Body Mass Index (BMI), scored from 0-3. Skin Type / Visual Risk Areas scored from 0-3. Dry, oedematous or clammy skin gets damaged more easily. Discolouration or spots are warnings of pressure damage already occurring. Sex / Age. There is a higher incidence of bedsores in women, possibly related to the shape of the pelvis. A male would be assigned 1 point, while a female 2. The risk of skin damage also increases with age due to losing elasticity and plumpness. Age groups get scored from 1-5. Continence. Incontinence brings excess moisture to the skin, causing softening and erosion of the epidermis. Scores range from 0 to 3 (double incontinence). Mobility evaluates the ability to move and the level of restlessness. The patient score can range from fully mobile with no restrictions (0 points) to permanently chair bound (5 points). The Malnutrition Score takes into account recent weight loss and the severity of weight reduction, scored from 0-4. Poor nutrition affects skin elasticity and subcutaneous tissue, making it more prone to damage. Special Risks. Point values are assigned based on specific or temporary conditions. A smoker will receive an additional point, while patients with multiple organ failure would get 8 points. Low to medium risk: a score of 10-14 High risk: a score of 15-19 Very high risk: 20+ points
