claimIndividuals with T2DM have a higher risk of mental health disorders (Arias et al. ; Deshpande et al. ; Ducat et al. ), with the prevalence of depression reported to be two‐fold higher in those with T2DM compared with the general population (Roy and Lloyd ).

claimThis increased risk may be partly due to diabetes‐related distress, which affects a large proportion of this population and can contribute to depressive symptoms (Perrin et al. ).

claimThe other recent systematic review and meta-analysis (Song et al.) showed that older patients living with PU experience two times higher risk of mortality than those who do not have such wounds.

claim2019 2023 Although considered preventable in most cases (Mervis And Phillips), PU (both CAPI and HAPI) are highly prevalent (vide supra), and for practical reasons, risk assessment may be more important than classification (Kottner And Coleman).

claimPressure ulcers (PU), called also pressure injuries, decubitus ulcers and bedsores, are a specific form of chronic wounds that develop in consequence of prolonged pressure, alone or in combination with shear and/or friction, or related to a medical or other device.
