“…The mean total healthcare cost per burn patient (85 studies) was $76,497 (range of $102–$717,306; median of $36,696) . The range includes costs in different market economies and healthcare settings, and the majority of studies calculated acute burn hospitalization costs only.…”

Burn care is traditionally considered expensive care. However, detailed information about the costs of burn care is scarce despite the increased need for this information and the enhanced focus on healthcare cost control. In this study, economic literature on burn care was systematically reviewed to examine the problem of burn-related costs. Cost or economic evaluation studies on burn care that had been published in international peer-reviewed journals from 1950 to 2012 were identified. The methodology of these articles was critically appraised by two reviewers, and cost results were extracted. A total of 156 studies met the inclusion criteria. Nearly all of the studies were cost studies (n = 153) with a healthcare perspective (n = 139) from high-income countries (n = 127). Hospital charges were often used as a proxy for costs (n = 44). Three studies were cost-effectiveness analyses. The mean total healthcare cost per burn patient in high-income countries was $88,218 (range $704-$717,306; median $44,024). A wide variety of methodological approaches and cost prices was found. We recommend that cost studies and economic evaluations employ a standard approach to improve the quality and harmonization of economic evaluation studies, optimize comparability, and improve insight into burn care costs and efficiency.

“…Burns are regarded as an important public health problem in Iran too [4]. These injuries are of extensive morbidity leading to substantial medical costs [5]. While it is reported as the sixth main cause of mortality [1], 28% of the survived patients cannot return to their previous functional level due to the severity of injuries and the consequences [6].…”

Ab s t r a c tPurpose: To estimate the prevalence of depressive symptoms in patients surviving a burn injury. Methods:A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 burn inpatients (50 males and 50 females) admitted to Sina Burn Center; Tabriz University of Medical Sciences during 2012.The severity and grade of burn injury was evaluated by a dermatologist. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) was used to evaluate the existence and severity of depressive symptoms. Results:In this study, 56% of burn patients suffered from depressive symptoms. Among these, 38 (38%) patients were identified with low, 13 (13%) with moderate and 5 (5%) with severe depressive symptoms. Depressive symptoms were reported in 20 (40%) males and 36 (72%) females. Moreover, depressive symptoms were observed in 15 (26.3%) patients with a total body surface area (TBSA) less than 30% and 41 (73.2%) with TBSA more than 30%. Conclusion:Depressive symptoms are common in burn patients and was twice as common among women. Psychological interventions along with the medical therapy should be provided for these patients.
