None
This is the heading of the final section of this text on nutrition for certain types of hospital patients - so far, I have only found the translation 'scars' for 'escarres', which seems possibly unlikely, as it goes on to specify the number of proteins and then the number of calories in relation to present weight, and then emphasise that you must remember to check the level of hydration.

Pressure sores was the first thing that popped into my head but of course the other terms - bedsores, decubitus ulcers, pressure ulcers - are equally correct. I don't know if one or the other is more BE or AE.
