The increasing survival rates and longer lifespans of burn survivors (BS) require general practitioners (GPs) to meet their long-term, potentially complex care. This project investigated the perceived need for a Knowledge Translation (KT) tool, and the content required, to optimize long-term support for BS by making best practices resources more accessible to their GPs. This mixed-method study assessed the perceived needs of BS and the current GP practices regarding BS follow-up. Survey data was gathered from GPs and BS. Additionally, a focus group was held with expert burn care clinicians. The results were analyzed using descriptive quantitative and qualitative methods and the findings triangulated. The common themes revealed the need for information about holistic care for BS across their illness trajectory. 94% of GPs reported a lack of confidence treating BS who wanted information regarding co-morbidities, psychosocial support, and symptom management, particularly related to scars (79-94%). BS reported symptoms which interfere with their daily activities: (i.e. scar-related (75%), pain (57.5%), stiffness (52.5%), weakness (55%), fatigue (65%), psychosocial (55%) and cognitive issues (35%)). The KT tool generation was based on the amalgamated findings. This study revealed a consensus amongst BS, GPs, and expert clinicians that there was a need for a learning resource for GPs to support their role in providing BS long-term follow-up care. The resulting KT tool will enable GPs to bridge their knowledge gaps through user-friendly links to BS-relevant resources.</p>","PeriodicalId":15205,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Burn Care & Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143970511","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}

Regulation varies between States but typically mandates helmets, complying with age-related speed limits, and not being under the influence of alcohol and illicit substances. Given the difficulty of enforcing these restrictions and the ease of manoeuvring through different road infrastructure, riders, and those around them, are vulnerable to trauma. With many e-sooters reaching speeds exceeding 25km/hour, collisions can result in friction burns when riders collide with hard surfaces such as roads. The aims of this project were to describe the profile of friction burns associated with e-scooters referred to Western Australia's burns units. A retrospective review of e-scooter related friction burns recorded within Western Australia's burns units was undertaken between January 2019 and July 2023. Data collected included demographics, injury profile, abrasion characteristics and management. Between 2019 and 2023, 30 e-scooter related burns were identified. Most friction burns resulted from non-collision events (76.7%) such as falls, with the upper limbs most commonly involved (31.8%). Ninety-three percent of burns involved a total body surface area of less than 5%, with most being mid-dermal in depth (63.3%). Friction burns are an emerging injury among e-scooter riders and, given the popularity of this method of transport, warrant targeted injury prevention countermeasures. Whilst these burns are not usually severe, further prospective research is needed to understand the nature of events leading to them.</p>","PeriodicalId":15205,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Burn Care & Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144005588","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 examines trends in pediatric facial injuries from fireworks over the past decade using the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS). Pediatric cases from 2014-2023 were identified using the fireworks consumer code (1313) and filtered for facial injuries (body part code 76). Data was analyzed using chi-square tests to assess significance and logistic regression to evaluate trends. An estimated 4,625 pediatric facial injuries from fireworks presented to emergency departments (ED) nationwide from 2014-2023. Among cases (n = 177), 68.4% were male and 31.6% were female. Thermal burns (60.5%), lacerations (15.3%), and contusions/abrasions (11.9%) were the most common injuries. Males were more likely to be injured than females (p-value: < 0.001). Overall, 17.5% of injuries required hospitalization or transfer. Older children were significantly more likely to sustain injuries requiring hospitalization (Odds Ratio [OR]: 1.13, 95% CI: 1.04-1.23, p = 0.005).

Our results show fireworks continue to cause significant pediatric facial injuries, with thermal burns being the most common diagnosis, and nearly one in five facial injuries from fireworks requiring hospitalization.

This study evaluates factors impacting effectiveness of thrombolytics using post-treatment perfusion imaging and amputation level as outcome measures. We hypothesize that categorizing thrombolytic-treated patients into full, partial, and non-responders enables a nuanced evaluation of treatment effectiveness. A prospectively maintained frostbite database was reviewed for patients with post-rewarming perfusion deficits measured by Tc99 scans who received IV thrombolytics. Of 131 patients, 71% were full responders, 23.7% partial responders, and 5.3% non-responders for surgical outcome. The median time to thrombolytics was 5.5 hours (range 1-14.5) for full responder; 7 hours (range 3.5-14) for partial responder; and 10 hours (range 1.5-11.5) for non-responders. Full responders exhibited smaller initial perfusion deficits. Psychosocial or comorbid factors were not significantly different across groups. Non-response was associated with longer time to thrombolytics, larger perfusion deficits, and cellulitis/infection. Using imaging outcomes to reduce confounding by infection, 93 patients were evaluated: 28% were full responders, 57% partial responders, and 15% non-responders. Full responders for imaging outcome corresponded with surgical outcomes and had no amputations, while 37.7% of partial responders and 42.9% of non-responders on imaging outcome had amputations. This study is the largest to evaluate thrombolytic outcomes in severe frostbite injured patients, proving new insight into thrombolytics responses and a novel assessment of thrombolytic treatment efficacy.
