conclusion preventive programs for reducing the risk of burns are needed. furthermore, high percentage of tbsa and mortality and the presence of multi-drugs resistance bacteria are major concerns in our hospital. patients and methods in a descriptive study, medical files of 6082 consecutive admissions for burn injury treated at taleghani burn hospital over a five-year period were reviewed. resu...

Burn injury is rare during pregnancy. However, severe burn injury during pregnancy is very dangerous for both mother and foetus. Maternal and foetal outcome depends on the mother's total body surface area (TBSA) burned. In women with more than 50% TBSA burned, foetal and maternal complications are considerable. Our study on pregnant women over a period of 12 years in Kermanshah, Iran, found 59....

Introduction Inhalation injury (ini) makes burn disease more severe. However, it remains unexplored what is the minimum area of that can significantly aggravate course ini. The objective was to compare incidence acute respiratory failure (arf), pneumonia, and mortality between patients with ini superficial skin burns up 3% total body surface (tbsa). Material methods 125 i–ii degree tbsa were al...

The aim of this study was to find out whether the charging costs (calculated using interventional burn score) increased as mortality decreased. During the last 2 decades, mortality has declined significantly in the Linköping Burn Centre. The burn score that we use has been validated as a measure of workload and is used to calculate the charging costs of each burned patient. We compared the char...

BACKGROUND Increased burn size leads to increased mortality of burned patients. Whether mortality is due to inflammation, hypermetabolism or other pathophysiologic contributing factors is not entirely determined. The purpose of the present study was to determine in a large prospective clinical trial whether different burn sizes are associated with differences in inflammation, body composition, ...

objective: to compare the outcome of patients with up to 60% total body surface area (tbsa) thermal burns undergoing ultra-early and early excision and grafting. methods: this historical cohort study was performed in two referral burn centers of shiraz during a 1-year period from 2015 to 2016. we included those patients with thermal burns up to 60% tbsa who underwent ultra-early (48-72 hours) a...

Correspondence to: Folke Sjöberg, Burn Center, Linköping University Hospital, Linköping, Sweden. E-mail: [email protected] Outcome after burn injury, as also paralleled by other trauma, has been improving steadily over the years. In this aspect a significant improvement was seen especially in the 1970-ties when the 50% survival chance from a burn injury increased from 45% total body surface ...

During 2000 to 2001, all 170 female burn patients admitted to the Ghotbeddin Burn Centre in Shiraz were studied to determine the epidemiological characteristics and outcome of burn for these patients. The overall mortality rate was 64%. The highest frequency of burns (53.5%) occurred among 16-25-year-olds. The commonest cause of burn was flame (98.2%). The mean (SD) length of hospital stay was ...

Background: Thermal burn injuries impair the host defence system. Hence, in the present study, we aimed at investigating the changes in the number and phenotype of peripheral blood lymphocyte populations (T, B, and natural killer cells) and their subpopulations in patients with thermal burns and determining the relationships with different sizes of total body surface area (TBSA).    ...
