Braden Scale Pressure Injury Risk Score Calculator

6-subscale tool scored 6–23; ≤18 = at risk.

Compute the Braden Scale score for predicting pressure injury (decubitus ulcer) risk. Six subscales each scored 1-3 or 1-4: sensory perception (1-4), moisture (1-4), activity (1-4), mobility (1-4), nutrition (1-4), friction & shear (1-3). Total ≤ 9 very high; 10-12 high; 13-14 moderate; 15-18 mild risk; 19-23 no risk.
