Due to theterrible consequences of pressure ulcer, it is essential to prevent it. A common method to prevent is using risk assessment scales. The aim ofthis review study is to identify the best risk assessment to prevent and reduce the incidence of pressure ulcer.Materials and methods: The studies and experiments in field of pressure ulcer risk assessment that had been exhibited on SID, PUBMED andGoogle Scholar sites were used.Results: According to literature, compared to waterlow scale, Braden scale is more appropriate measure to assess the risk of pressure ulcer inhospitals. In the other hand, Waterlow scale indicates the better predictive value and contains more subscales. It also focuses closely on detailsin prone patients.Discussion: It is suggested that patients on admission time should be evaluated by Braden scale for first screening, but during thehospitalization time, waterlow scale is more effective to assess the pressure ulcer. Waterlow scale is more sensitive and focuses on effectivedetails in development of pressure ulcer.
