A total of 380 residents were enrolled. MDRPIs were identified through systematic head-to-toe skin inspection and staged according to the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel classification. Potential associated factors encompassing demographic characteristics, clinical status, device-related variables, and facility-level features were collected. Independent predictors were identified using multivariable logistic regression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The overall prevalence of MDRPI was 12.4% (47\/380; 95% CI: 9.3%\u201316.1%). Among the 58 documented lesions, the most common sites were the nasal bridge (34.5%), ears (20.7%), and occiput (17.2%). Nasoenteric\/nasogastric tubes accounted for 43.1% of injuries, and Stage 1 injuries were predominant (48.3%). Multivariable analysis identified four independent associated factors: edema (OR=3.49, 95% CI: 1.71\u20137.13,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001), anemia (OR=2.41, 95% CI: 1.23\u20134.72,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.010), use of two devices (OR=2.48, 95% CI: 1.10\u20135.59,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.028) and three or more devices (OR=5.10, 95% CI: 2.20\u201311.82,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001) compared with one device, and poorer nutritional status (per 1-point decrease in Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form score; OR=1.33, 95% CI: 1.10\u20131.60,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.003).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Approximately one in eight long-term care residents had MDRPIs.
