“…3,12,13 Consistent with all previous studies, TBSA was the most influential factor determining outcome in burn patients. 14,15 Our study also found that the average LA50 [the (brackets) not necessary] of our patients was 76.0% of TBSA, which was comparable with other studies from southern Iran which found the LA50 was 66.5% of TBSA. 16,17 Effective initial resuscitation, including airway management and circulatory system restoration, is the crucial factor for survival in burn patients.…”

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the factors associated with mortality in burn patients in order to develop a nomogram for predicting mortality that can be used as a guideline to treat major burn patients.Material and Methods: This was a retrospective study done in Songhklanagarind Hospital, Hat Yai, Songkhla, Thailand. The study included major burn patients who were admitted to the burn unit or the intensive care unit between the years 2011 and 2018, and analyzed demographic data and significant factors associated with mortality.Results: A total of 127 major burn patients were treated during the study years, with a mean age of 33 years with an average total burn surface area (TBSA) of 43.5%. The most common cause of the burns was flame injury, and the most significant factors associated with mortality were TBSA >55.0%, blood creatinine >1.2 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) and face involvement.Conclusion: The 3 significant burn-related factors of TBSA >55.0%, blood creatinine >1.2 mg/dL and face involvement can be used to predict mortality using the nomogram created in this study.

“…The median age of subjects in this study was 11 years, and more than half of the subjects were under the age of 18. These demographics mirrors previous studies, which included all age groups and were conducted in other countries [14][15][16]. We also found that 54% of subjects were male.…”

Introduction Correctly assessing burn size is extremely important since it is directly associated with a patient's subsequent management. Further, an accurate assessment of the total body surface area (TBSA) involved is crucial to decide if specialty care in a burn unit is necessary, whereby overestimation has the potential to lead to unnecessary patient transfers and undesirable burdens on the healthcare system and inconvenience to patients. The goal of this study was to identify whether burn injury estimates of TBSA percentage correlate between emergency department (ED) clinician and burn specialists. Methods This was a retrospective study conducted between February 1, 2018 and July 31, 2019 of patients with a burn injury who were evaluated by both an ED clinician and a burn specialist during the same ED visit. Charts were reviewed to identify the documentation of TBSA by prehospital personnel, ED nursing staff, ED mid-level providers (MLP), ED attending physicians, burn consultant MLPs, and burn consultant attending physicians. Results During the study period, 189 subjects with both an ED and burn consultant. The median age was 11 years [interquartile range (IQR) 1-49], and 103 (54%) were males. More than half of the subjects (n=106, 56%) were under the age of 18. There was a statistically significant correlation between estimates of TBSA between ED and burn consultants overall (p<0.0001). Furthermore, there was a statistically significant correlation between ED and burn MLPs (p<0.0001) as well as ED and burn attending physicians (p<0.0001). When adjusted for MLP and attending sex, there was still a correlation among all groups (p<0.0001). Conclusions In this study, there was a statistically significant correlation between estimates of TBSA between ED and burn consultants

“…On the other hand, 7% died, with a prognostic factor LA50 at 47%, the mortality rate is higher in China compared to our study with a figure of 14.21%, (9) Or even in France with a figure of 18% according to the study of Nelebrusselaer (12).…”

This is a retrospective and descriptive study including all patients hospitalized in the burn intensive care department during the periodfromJanuary 2016 to August 2019 on an estimated number of 198 patients. The M/F sex ratio is 2.03; the average age is 33. Of which 50.54% are out of school with a medium to low socioeconomic level. 71% of the hospitalized are residents of the MARRAKECH-SAFI region, only 16% are admitted within the first 6 hours, hospitalized on average for 15 days. Thermal burning remains the most common burning mechanism in adults 70% (butane flame in 48%); while in children (<15 years) thermal scalding, is the most common burning mechanism with 37.5%. This trauma occurs in 68% of cases in the home. The average burned skin surface is 25% with a predominance of hand burns and the face either isolation or isolation must be associated. 62% healed spontaneously, while 31% required one or more grafting times, with LA50 at 47%.
