Redefining the concept of the elderly burn patient: Analysis of a multicentre international dataset
Background
The elderly are highly vulnerable to major burn injuries. Typically, ‘elderly’ is accepted as ≥ 65 years of age. This cut-off is arbitrary, lacks a robust evidence base and is potentially damaging from a clinical-decision-making perspective. The study objective was to utilise a large international dataset of major burns to stratify mortality risk by age and objectively define ‘elderly’ patients with significantly higher risk of poor outcome.
Methods
We performed a sub-analysis of the RE-ENERGIZE clinical trial dataset. RE-ENERGIZE included 1200 patients admitted to 54 burn centres worldwide with 2nd and/or 3rd degree burns, who were expected to require skin grafting. In a first-of-its-kind age stratification study, we stratified major burns patients by five-year age intervals. Logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards analyses were performed with three-month mortality and time-to-discharge-alive (TTDA) as the primary and secondary outcomes.
Results
Three-month mortality was 15.41 %. Age was associated with three-month mortality upon multivariable logistic regression analysis (p = 0.000, OR=1.06, CI=1.05–1.08), independently of total burn surface area burned (TBSA%), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). Age 80 + was independently associated with increased mortality and TTDA, when compared to all referent 5-year age groups (p ≤ 0.000–0.043). The Lethal Dose 50 (LD50) for the 80 + group was 20.5 %.
Conclusions
We present a new threshold of risk stratification in patients with major burns; Patients ≥ 80 years have a significantly poorer outcome, irrespective of injury severity, resultant critical illness severity, and variables including comorbidities, which has implications for prognostication and management decisions.
期刊介绍:
Burns aims to foster the exchange of information among all engaged in preventing and treating the effects of burns. The journal focuses on clinical, scientific and social aspects of these injuries and covers the prevention of the injury, the epidemiology of such injuries and all aspects of treatment including development of new techniques and technologies and verification of existing ones. Regular features include clinical and scientific papers, state of the art reviews and descriptions of burn-care in practice.
Topics covered by Burns include: the effects of smoke on man and animals, their tissues and cells; the responses to and treatment of patients and animals with chemical injuries to the skin; the biological and clinical effects of cold injuries; surgical techniques which are, or may be relevant to the treatment of burned patients during the acute or reconstructive phase following injury; well controlled laboratory studies of the effectiveness of anti-microbial agents on infection and new materials on scarring and healing; inflammatory responses to injury, effectiveness of related agents and other compounds used to modify the physiological and cellular responses to the injury; experimental studies of burns and the outcome of burn wound healing; regenerative medicine concerning the skin.
