More than half of the nursing home population is incontinent of urine or feces, presenting challenges to perineal skin health. To determine the occurrence and severity of @entity272 in nursing home residents with @entity322 , a secondary analysis of data collected from a multisite, open-label, quasi-experimental study of cost and efficacy of four regimens for preventing @entity322 -associated @entity1909 in nursing home residents was performed. Sixteen randomly selected nursing homes from across the US were included in the study. Participating nursing home residents were @entity272 . Of the 1,918 @entity1 screened, 51% (n = 981) qualified for prospective surveillance. Perineal skin was assessed over a 6-week period; frequency, type, and severity of @entity272 were observed. Skin damage developed after a median of 13 (range 6 to 42) days in 45 out of 981 residents (4.6%), of which 3.4% was determined to be @entity322 -associated @entity1909 . Some residents (14 out of 45, 31%) had @entity322 -associated @entity272 in more than one area. This study is one of the first to report the characteristics of @entity322 -associated @entity1909 in a large sample of nursing home residents. The sample size and random selection of nursing homes impart generalizability to the findings. Incontinence-associated @entity1909 is a risk in nursing home residents, especially those with @entity1241 . These findings suggest that the rate and severity of @entity322 -associated @entity1909 are low with close monitoring and use of a defined skin care regimen that includes a pH-balanced cleanser and moisture barrier.
