“…In our study cohort, we found the Revised Baux Score to be highly associated with inpatient mortality and superior to the ABSI and BOBI in predicting mortality in severely burned patients. This is consistent with previous studies comparing the original Baux Score to the ABSI [39,40] and the Ryan model [39]. The Revised Baux Score arguably has the advantage of higher discriminative value by providing a risk estimate as a continuous variable, unlike like the ABSI or BOBI Score which utilise categorical scores [41].…”

“…However Germann et al found that although ABSI showed acceptable accuracy and predictive power on Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curve analysis, it underestimated the contribution of factors such as alcohol abuse, smoking and co-morbidities to mortality [12]. As stated above, the ABSI has also shown limited accuracy in comparison to Modified Baux score to predict mortality in elderly patients (>60 years) in two independent studies [45,47].…”

“…La gran mayoría de las quemaduras tanto en nuestro estudio como en la literatura se produce en el domicilio de los pacientes [5][6][7][8]31,[33][34][35] . La mayoría de las veces estos accidentes son prevenibles, y al igual que con los niños, debería evitarse la manipulación de fuego en pacientes añosos y cautelar el uso de líquidos calientes, por ejemplo, recipientes con agua hirviendo para el aseo personal o para cocinar.…”

“…Los pacientes añosos pueden tener una rehabilitación y reinserción más difi cultosa al tener menores reservas funcionales, nutricionales y menor red de apoyo 7,33,34 . Este punto también debe ser tomado en cuenta para apoyar estrategias de prevención en este grupo etáreo y para favorecer la entrega de tratamiento oportuno con el objetivo de lograr la reparación de la barrera cutánea lo antes posible, y así evitar complicaciones inmediatas como la muerte o a más largo plazo como secuelas y discapacidad.…”
