Objective: to relate the risk score for injuries due to surgical positioning resulting from the supine position with sociodemographic, clinical, surgical aspects and the occurrence of complications. Method: longitudinal observational study carried out with 89 patients in the supine position. Sociodemographic and clinical variables and the Risk Scale for the Development of Surgical Positioning Injuries were applied. Descriptive, bivariate and logistic regression analyzes were adopted, considering a significance level of α=0.05. Results: age increased by 1.11 times (p<0.001) and obesity by 13.77 times (p=0.01) the chance of increased risk of injury. The proportion of pain (34.1%) and pressure injury in the sacrococcygeal region (91.7%) stood out in patients at higher risk (p=0.05). Conclusion: obese and elderly people had a higher risk of injury. Pain and occurrence of pressure injury in the sacrococcygeal region were the predominant complications in patients at higher risk.
