Data were analysis by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA and chi-square tests.Results: The findings indicated that 15.2% of ELDERLY patients with hospital acquired PRESSURE ULCERS was died. MORTALITY significantly was associated with hospitalized in intensive wards (p<0.001) grade of PRESSURE ULCERS (p<0.001) and neurological problems (p=0.045). Mean LENGTH OF HOSPITAL STAY was 6.8±7 days with a range from 2 to 60 days.Mean LENGTH OF HOSPITAL STAY significantly was higher in elder people hospitalized in intensive wards (p<0.001), patients who died (p<0.001) and pressure ulcer grade III (p=0.010) Discussion: Focus on strategies for the prevention of ulcers, particularly in older adults hospitalized in intensive wards, neurological problems and prevent progression of ulcers can help to reduce LENGTH OF HOSPITAL STAY and MORTALITY in these patients.
