Abstract

Descriptive clinical tools for characterizing burn scars are limited by between-user variability and unknown sensitivity to change over time. We previously described preclinical assessment of stereophotogrammetry as a valid measure of burn-related scars. Here, we compared the estimated vs. instrumented measurements of maximum height and total positive volume of 26 burn scars. The burn scars were imaged with the QuantifiCare LifeViz Micro 3D camera. Three experienced wound care therapists first estimated, then measured using 3D Track software, the imaged scars’ height and volume. Two-factor analysis without replication was performed to calculate intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) between assessors’ estimated scar height and volume, and measured height and volume. Two-sided Wilcoxon tests were performed comparing the mean estimated height and volume with the estimated and measured outputs. The estimated scar height’s ICC was 0.595, and for volume, it was 0.531. The measured scar height’s ICC was 0.933 and for volume, it was 0.890. The estimated and measured volume were significantly different (z = −2.87, p = 0.041), while the estimated and measured height were not (z = −1.39, p = 0.161). Stereophotogrammic measurement of scar height and volume is more reliable than clinical photograph assessment. Stereophotogrammetry should be utilized when assessing burn scar height and volume, rather than subjective estimates from clinical scar tools.
烧伤疤痕高度和体积的临床估算与立体摄影仪器成像的比较
用于描述烧伤疤痕特征的描述性临床工具因用户之间的差异和对随时间变化的敏感性未知而受到限制。我们曾将立体摄影测量作为烧伤相关疤痕的有效测量方法进行过临床前评估。在这里,我们比较了 26 个烧伤疤痕的最大高度和总阳性体积的估计测量值与仪器测量值。烧伤疤痕使用 QuantifiCare LifeViz Micro 3D 相机进行成像。三位经验丰富的伤口护理治疗师首先估算了成像疤痕的高度和体积,然后使用 3D Track 软件进行了测量。在计算评估者估计的疤痕高度和体积与测量的高度和体积之间的类内相关系数 (ICC) 时,进行了无重复的双因素分析。对估计高度和体积的平均值与估计值和测量值进行了双侧 Wilcoxon 检验。估计疤痕高度的 ICC 为 0.595,体积的 ICC 为 0.531。测量疤痕高度的 ICC 为 0.933,测量体积的 ICC 为 0.890。估计值和测量值的体积差异很大(z = -2.87,p = 0.041),而估计值和测量值的高度差异不大(z = -1.39,p = 0.161)。疤痕高度和体积的立体摄影测量比临床照片评估更可靠。在评估烧伤疤痕高度和体积时,应使用立体摄影测量法,而不是使用临床疤痕工具进行主观估计。
