The mortality rate during this time period was 2.3%. Fifty-six patients died, including 49 males and 7 females. The...
BACKGROUND Patient survival after severe burn injury is largely determined by burn size. Modern developments in burn care have greatly improved survival and outcomes. However, no large analysis of outcomes in paediatric burn patients with present treatment regimens exists. This study was designed to identify the burn size associated with significant increases in morbidity and mortality in paedi...
The aim of this review was to highlight major steps in the modern history of mortality prediction inburns. We decided to draw eras in burn treatment with most important surgical achievements and development of prognostic scales. First decades of XXth century brought development in basic science, understanding of the backgrounds of burn disease and crucial steps in surgical techniques. Recogniti...
