Abstract: Background: Medical device-related pressure injury (MDRPI) in intensive care unit (ICU) patients is a serious issue. We aimed to evaluate the risk factors for MDRPI associated with ICU patients through systematic review and meta-analysis, and provide insights into the clinical prevention of MDRPI. Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang Database, and China BioMedical Literature Database (CBM) (from inception to January 2023) for studies that identified risk factors of MDRPI in ICU patients. In order to avoid the omission of relevant literature, we performed a secondary search of the above database on February 15, 2023. Meta-analysis was performed using Revman 5.3. Results: Fifteen studies involving 4850 participants were selected to analyze risk factors for MDRPI in ICU patients. While conducting a meta-analysis, we used sensitivity analysis to ensure the reliability of the results for cases with significant heterogeneity among studies. When the source of heterogeneity cannot be determined, we only described the risk factor. The risk factors for MDRPI in ICU patients were elder age (OR = 1.06, 95% CI: 1.03–1.10), diabetes mellitus (OR = 3.20, 95% CI: 1.96–5.21), edema (OR = 3.62, 95% CI: 2.31–5.67), lower Braden scale score (OR = 1.22, 95%CI: 1.11–1.33), higher SOFA score (OR = 4.21, 95%CI: 2.38–7.47), higher APACHE II score (OR = 1.38, 95%CI: 1.15–1.64), longer usage time of medical devices (OR = 1.11, 95%CI: 1.05–1.19), use of vasoconstrictors (OR = 6.07, 95%CI: 3.15–11.69), surgery (OR = 4.36, 95% CI: 2.07–9.15), prone position (OR = 24.71, 95% CI: 7.34–83.15), and prone position ventilation (OR = 17.51, 95% CI: 5.86–52.36). Furthermore, we found that ICU patients who used subglottic suction catheters had a higher risk of MDRPI, whereas ICU patients with higher hemoglobin and serum albumin levels had a lower risk of MDRPI. Conclusion: This study reported the risk factors for MDRPI in ICU patients. A comprehensive analysis of these risk factors will help to prevent and optimize interventions, thereby minimizing the occurrence of MDRPI.
