The aim of this study was to review the efficacy of our predominately enteral trace element supplementation strategy and determine the burn size at which patients are at risk for trace element deficiency. We reviewed 53 burn patients admitted to our burn center from August 1, 2019 to May 31, 2022 who had their trace element levels and C-reactive protein monitored in two-week increments. Receiver operating characteristic analysis indicated a 22.1% BSAB cutoff for zinc supplementation to prevent deficiency with 91.7% sensitivity and 92.6% specificity, and a 27.5% BSAB cutoff with 88.9% sensitivity and 81% specificity for copper. No patient in our cohort developed selenium deficiency, regardless of burn size. Patients with greater than 30% body surface area burned developed deficiencies in both zinc and copper within the first two weeks of hospitalization. Our results provide guidance for trace element replacement based on burn size.","PeriodicalId":15205,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Burn Care & Research","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142260984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study characterizes VTE risk and existing prevention measures to improve and inform overall patient care in the field of burn care on a national scale. The US National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) was queried from 2007 to 2021 to identify burn-injured patients. Descriptive statistics and multivariate regression analyses were used to explore the association between demographic/clinical characteristics and VTE risk as well as compare various VTE chemoprophylaxis types. There were 326,614 burn-injured patients included for analysis; 5,642 (1.7%) experienced a VTE event during their hospitalization. Patients with VTE were significantly older, had greater BMIs and %TBSA, and were more likely to be male (p<0.001). History of smoking, hypertension or myocardial infarction, and/or substance use disorder were significant predictors of VTE (p<0.001). Patients who received low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) were less likely to have VTE compared to patients treated with heparin when controlling for other VTE risk factors (OR: .564 95% CI .523-.607, p<0.001). Longer time to VTE chemoprophylaxis (>6 hours) initiation was significantly associated with VTE (OR=1.04 95% CI 1.03=1.07, p<0.001). This study sheds light on risk factors and chemoprophylaxis in VTE to help guide clinical practice when implementing prevention strategies in burn patients. This knowledge can be leveraged to refine risk stratification models, inform evidence-based prevention strategies, and ultimately enhance the quality of care for burn patients at risk of VTE.","PeriodicalId":15205,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Burn Care & Research","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142199639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, anecdotal evidence suggests declining insurance coverage for laser therapy. We aimed to characterize the landscape of insurance coverage for fractional laser therapy present our six-year reimbursement trends. We cross-sectionally analyzed the 60 largest American health insurers by enrollee size and market share. For each, we identified their laser therapy policy for scar revision and extracted their documentation, prior, and continuing authorization requirements and treatment guidelines. We also collected retrospective institutional claims data from 2017 to 2022 to investigate trends in reimbursement. Of the 60 largest health insurers, we identified 11 (18.3%) policies on scar revision and 40 policies (66.7%) on reconstructive surgery, including scar revision. Nineteen policies considered laser therapy medically necessary with evidence of functional impairment refractory to prior treatment. Three insurers denied laser coverage under any circumstance. Of the 1,531 claims submitted by our institution for burn scar laser therapy, 13.8% were denied. Patients with Medicare (ORadj, 3.78) or Medicaid (ORadj, 2.80) had significantly greater odds of coverage than privately insured patients (p<0.01). There was a 14.5% annual reduction in the odds of reimbursement during the study period (ORadj, 0.86, p < 0.01). Laser therapy is a powerful treatment that is not widely available to patients with traumatic scars. Our institutional data suggest this access may be further eclipsed by decreasing trends in coverage since 2017. Strategies are needed to protect patient access to this life-changing treatment.","PeriodicalId":15205,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Burn Care & Research","volume":"87 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142260985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional surgical debridement is the standard of care; however, it can lead to significant tissue loss, excessive bleeding and delayed healing. Bromelain-based enzymatic debridement offers a potential less invasive alternative that aims to selectively remove necrotic tissue while preserving viable ones. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis comprehensively compares bromelain debridement versus standard care in the management of partial and full-thickness burns. Cochrane Library, Embase, and Medline were searched until May 30th, 2024 for studies comparing bromelain debridement versus standard care. R version 4.4.0 was used to pooled risk ratio and mean difference in a random-effects model. We included seven studies, comprising 484 participants, of whom 238 (49%) were treated with enzymatic debridement. Bromelain significantly reduced time to eschar removal (MD - 7.60 days 95% CI [-9.76, -5.44]; I² = 70%) in comparison with standard care. Additionally, bromelain group presented a significant reduction in the risk of surgical excision (RR 0.17; 95% CI [0.06, 0.47]; I² = 79%) and need for autografts (RR 0.40; 95% CI [0.18, 0.93]; I² = 76%) in comparison with standard group. No differences were found in behalf of time to wound closure (MD -7.64; 95% CI [-18.46]-[3.18]; I2 = 86%), nor in Modified Vancouver Scar Scale (MD -0.36; 95% CI [-0.96]-[0.23]; I2 = 0%). Bromelain-based enzymatic debridement may accelerate eschar removal and reduce the need for surgical excision and autografts, without adversely affecting wound closure time or long-term scar quality.","PeriodicalId":15205,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Burn Care & Research","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142199638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The type I/III collagen ratio affects the extent of hypertrophic scarring; a reduced ratio can ameliorate this. In this study, recombinant human collagen type III was developed. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to determine its amino acid sequence and confirm its high level of homology with natural human type III collagen. Recombinant human collagen type III displayed no cytotoxicity and did not confer skin irritation and sensitization. Immunofluorescence and western blot analyses of histidine following incubation with fibroblasts suggested cell entry of recombinant human collagen type III. Furthermore, recombinant human collagen type III promoted the synthesis of the natural type III collagen in fibroblasts, resulting in a more obvious increase of type III collagen content in fibroblasts than that of type I collagen, and then decreased the ratio of type I/III collagen. The results of 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine staining assay suggested enhanced fibroblast proliferation. Following local injection of recombinant human collagen type III, rabbit ear scarring was significantly reduced after 60 days. Vancouver Scar Scale evaluation showed that all index scores were significantly reduced. Western blotting and Picro-Sirius red staining showed that the natural type III collagen increase in scar tissue was greater than that of type I collagen, decreasing the type I/III ratio.

Regional techniques have become increasingly popular in perioperative burn pain management. Continuous nerve block catheters are particularly useful for split-thickness skin grafts where donor site pain can exceed that of the burn-injured site. Donor skin is frequently harvested from the anterolateral thigh. The fascia iliaca (FI) compartment block provides blockade of both the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve and the femoral nerve, and thus, it is a useful modality for burn donor pain. Our institution initiated a protocol in which continuous FI catheters were placed in patients undergoing split-thickness skin grafting of the anterolateral thigh. This retrospective review seeks to assess the impact of this modality on postoperative pain scores and opioid requirements. Oral morphine equivalent (OME) administration was significantly lower in the FI group than the control group, starting with POD 0, which is the day of the FI catheter insertion (188 vs 327 mg, P < .001). Over the next 4 postoperative days (PODs), OME administration remained lower in the FI group compared to control patients, although not statistically significant on PODs 3-4. There was a significant difference in OME administered between the FI group and the control group on POD 5 (159.5 vs 209.2 mg, P < .05).
