Burn injury. Analysis of survival and hospitalization time for 937 patients

P W Curreri et al. Ann Surg. 1980.

Abstract

The charts of 937 patients have been reviewed for survival and length of stay. Probit analysis and binary logistic regression has been performed to develop probability of dying contours incorporating age and per cent burn. It appears that improvement in survival has occurred over the last 16 years. The length of hospital stay has also been evaluated. A significant decrease in hospitalization time has occurred in the past year with the advent of a selective wound excisional protocol, without adversely affecting survival. A burn bed requirement chart is presented which incorporates age, burn size, survival probability and predicted length of stay. The chart allows for estimation of burn bed needs for a known or predicted population of regional burn victims.
