Scoring: The Braden Scale is a summated rating scale made up of six subscales scored from 1-3 or 4, for total scores that range from 6-23. A lower Braden Scale Score indicates a lower level of functioning and, therefore, a higher level of risk for pressure ulcer development.A score of 19 or higher, for instance, would indicate that the patient is at low risk, with no need for treatment at this time.The assessment can also be used to evaluate the course of a particular treatment.
