Clinical Outcome of Patients With Severe Burns Presenting to the Emergency Department

Abstract: Background: Burns are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although a local burn covering a limited surface area can heal readily, deep or extensive burns can result in systemic damage and even death. This study evaluated the clinical characteristics of the patients presenting with severe burns and investigated the factors influencing mortality.

“…Studies of HRQoL in children after burns are few, but a systematic review by Spronk et al found that children with more severe burns, or with a facial or hand burn had poorer HRQoL 41. Severe burns can result in systemic damage, often require multiple surgical procedures involving readmission for reconstructive surgery and impact on the physical functioning of the area(s) affected 42…”

“…The results of the uni-variance test in this study show that the average systolic blood pressure of the respondents in this study was 110.72, which means it is still in the normal range. According to Gokdemir et al (2012), the systolic blood pressure that can be a risk of mortality for burn patients is a systolic blood pressure of less than 90 mmHg as a sign of hypotension. In this study, the heart rate is not significantly correlated with survival rate.…”

“…Further, mortality rate is affected by factors such as age, sex, size of burn injury, respiratory damage, trauma, and pneumonia [21]. The ABSI and APACHE II score are used to compensate for the shortcomings of the current methods of diagnosis and prognosis of burn injuries; however, there is a need for more reliable and accurate methods.…”
