Abstract：Patients with multiple traumatic injuries who are critically ill,for example,those with severe traumatic brain injury or high-level spinal cord injury,frequently have impaired consciousness,reduced mobility,and prolonged bed rest,placing them at high risk for incontinence-associated dermatitis(IAD).IAD increases the risk of secondary complications such as pressure injuries,impairs quality of life,and complicates nursing care.Early identification of high-risk patients using validated,evidence-based risk prediction tools enables timely,targeted skin-care interventions and is therefore clinically important.This review summarizes current IAD risk prediction tools developed for critically ill multiple-trauma populations,comparing their development methods,variable composition,performance characteristics,and reported clinical utility,and aims to provide a basis for healthcare personnel to identify IAD risk factors early and implement skin prevention and management strategies.In constructing and applying prediction tools,researchers and clinicians should ensure broad coverage of risk factors,prioritize model validation and usability,and emphasize translation into practice.
