Initial Laboratory Values Can Predict Mortality in Burn Patients
The American Surgeon™, 2022Background There are several burn scores used to predict mortality in burn patients. However, minimal data exists on the role of laboratory values in risk stratification. We hypothesized that laboratory derangements seen on admission can predict mortality in burn patients.

Predictors of Mortality Among Pediatric Burn Patients in East Africa
Journal of Burn Care & Research, 2016Little is known about the outcomes of pediatric burn patients in resource-limited and rural locations of the developing world. In March 2013, our pediatric burn unit existing in this setting established an electronic registry of all patients. The authors analyzed the registry to determine overall mortality rates and predictors of mortality, including ...

Repeat Hospitalization and Mortality in Older Adult Burn Patients
Journal of Burn Care & Research, 2013The aim of this study was to examine 2-year postdischarge outcomes-including hospital readmissions, complications, and mortality-for a cohort of older adults with burn injury. In a statewide hospital discharge database, we identified all patients ≥ 45 years of age admitted for acute burn injury from 1996 to 2005 and followed each patient for any ...

Wound Healing Trajectories in Burn Patients and Their Impact on Mortality
Journal of Burn Care & Research, 2014The rate of wound healing and its effect on mortality has not been well described. The objective of this article is to report wound healing trajectories in burn patients and analyze their effects on in-hospital mortality. The authors used software (WoundFlow) to depict burn wounds, surgical results, and healing progression at multiple time points ...

The FLAMES score accurately predicts mortality risk in burn patients.
Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection & Critical Care, 2008The purposes of this study were to determine current mortality predictors in our thermally injured population, to develop and validate a new mortality predictive score, and to compare its predictive ability with those of the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) score, multiple organ dysfunction (MOD) score, and two burn ...
