When treating burn patients, some patients die in the chronic phase, even if they overcome the acute phase of the burn. To elucidate the timing of death and its underlying causes among burn patients.
Methods
Patients evaluated were admitted to our burn center between January 2015, and December 2019. Patient information, time, and cause of death were retrospectively collected from their medical records.
Results
Among 342 admitted patients, 49 died. The time of death was as follows: within 24 h (n = 9), within 3 days (n = 7), within 1 week (n = 5), within 2 weeks (n = 4), within 3 weeks (n = 3), within 30 days (n = 6), within 60 days (n = 5), and after 60 days (n = 9). The causes of death within 3 days were hypoxic encephalopathy, extensive burns (>80%), severe heat stroke, and acute coronary syndrome. The causes of death after 3 days were sepsis, pneumonia, intestinal ischemia, pancreatitis, and worsening of chronic diseases. The mortality rate was similar for patients ≥65 years of age and those with a burn area of ≥20%, with both groups showing a particularly poor prognosis.
Conclusions
The timing of death in hospitalized burn patients showed a bimodal distribution as approximately 40% of patients who survived the resuscitation period died after 30 days. Elderly patients were at particularly high risk for mortality. In burn care, treatment planning should consider not only the short-term but also the long-term prognosis.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
