Intensive care patients, who have multiple devices in situ, are particularly vulnerable. There is a significant knowledge gap regarding mucous membrane pressure injury (MMPI) incidence in acute hospital settings.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Aim<\/jats:title><jats:p>To analyse MMPI incidence and characteristics in a tertiary acute general hospital.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A secondary data analysis of hospital clinical incident reports was conducted. The sample included all adults with MMPIs between 2015 and 2019. The STROBE reporting guideline was followed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>There were 414 reports of MMPI. Most (91.5%, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0379) were hospital\u2010acquired with the majority found in intensive care patients (74.4%, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0282). Hospital\u2010acquired MMPI incidence was 0.1% (11\u2009MMPI per 10,000 hospital episodes). In intensive care, the incidence was 2.4% (235\u2009MMPI per 10,000 intensive care episodes). The median time from device insertion until reporting of an MMPI was 3\u2009days. The most common sites of mucosal injury were the lips (35.6%) and mouth (28.8%). In all cases except one, MMPI was associated with medical device use at the site of injury. Five device types were identified (oral endotracheal tube\u2010related 70.3%; urinary catheter 15.5%; gastric tube 8.3%; nasal prongs 3.5%; tracheostomy tube 2.4%). In intensive care, oral endotracheal tube\u2010related devices were most often associated with MMPI (84.8%), whereas in non\u2010intensive care MMPI it was the urinary catheter (51.4%).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>While hospital\u2010acquired MMPI incidence is relatively low, it is considerably higher in intensive care patients compared to those in non\u2010intensive care settings.
