Characterisation and Prognostic Implication of Cholestasis After Burn Injury
Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.In 532 burn ICU patients, we quantified trajectories of cholestasis markers and validated burn‐associated cholestasis definitions. Bilirubin dynamics, particularly hyperbilirubinemia ≥ 2× ULN within 14 days, independently predicted excess in‐hospital and overall mortality beyond burn and critical‐illness severity, identifying a high‐risk subgroup after
