IAD is defined as an inflammation of the skin that occurs when urine or stool comes into contact with perineal or perigenital skin. Essentially, skin damage from pressure ulcers occurs from the inside out. But IAD starts on the surface and works inward. IAD has many risk factors, including fecal incontinence, compromised mobility, and moisture. Studies show the odds of having a pressure ulcer are 37.5 times greater for patients or residents who had both impaired mobility and fecal incontinence. Pressure ulcers are also extremely costly. The costs of treating a stage 1, 2, or 3 pressure ulcer can range from 2-thousand to 30-thousand dollars…. And a stage 4 pressure ulcer can cost upwards of 70-thousand dollars to treat.
