Elderly sepsis patients are particularly vulnerable to pressure injuries due to prolonged bed rest. Nevertheless, the relationship between BSS and the risk of developing ARDS in this population has not been extensively studied.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Elderly sepsis patients from the MIMIC-IV database were chosen and partitioned into quartiles of BSS values. Although the incidence of ARDS was the primary endpoint, hospital mortality in the ARDS subgroup was the secondary endpoint. The correlation between low BSS and risk of ARDS and in-hospital mortality in elderly sepsis patients was assessed using logistic regression models.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
