Objective: to analyze the incidence of pressure ulcers in patients of an intensive care unit of a large hospital in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Method: observational, longitudinal, non-competitive study. Inclusion criteria: patients admitted from March 2016 to September 2018, minimum age of 18 years. Patients who were hospitalized for a maximum time of 24 hours were excluded. Statistical analysis was performed in two stages: descriptive and inferential analysis, in the Statistical Packpage for Social Science program. Results: The incidence of pressure injury was 8.2%. There was a statistical association with older age, length of hospitalization, male gender and previous injury. Conclusion: PUs are a reality in intensive care units and may interfere with quality of care and patient safety, requiring preventive care based on risk factors.
