2022, Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and InfectionValidation of four burn-specific prognostic models in a cohort of 9625 cases, and a novel model for prediction of mortality in burn patients
2020, BurnsCitation Excerpt :Greater full-thickness burn wound could provoke stronger inflammation and vascular leakage in the early stage after injury [29]. And the wound of full-thickness burn injury requires skin transplantation to recover, which leads to a prolonged length of stay in the hospital and increased risk of mortality [30]. The prognostic burn index (PBI) was the first burn-specific model that accounted for the effects of differing levels of burn thickness [2].
Epidemiology of pediatric patients admitted to a burns ICU in Saudi Arabia
2020, Burns OpenCitation Excerpt :The exact mechanism of flame injuries could not be determined from medical records and is recommended to the subject of a prospective observation study, including qualitative interview of patients and families to determine effective preventive measures. Inhalation injury in children have been reported to be common, but of lesser frequency in previous studies [31–33]. The diagnosis of inhalation injury continues to be subjective in most centers and requires a high degree of gestalt.
Standardised mortality ratio based on the sum of age and percentage total body surface area burned is an adequate quality indicator in burn care: An exploratory review
2016, BurnsCitation Excerpt :To compare mortality with previously-reported results is, however, difficult, as differences in case mix cannot be adjusted for by just analysing frequency and mean values [16]. A number of models that predict mortality and adjust for case mix after burns have therefore been presented over the years [3,7,14,17–83], but there is still no consensus as to which one is the gold standard [84]. The difference between the expected and observed mortality can be an indicator of quality if the model that is predicting mortality has a high predictive value, and if there is a large reference group available including values over all admissions, which are regularly updated [85].
