The effect of allogeneic blood transfusion on burn mortality in a resource-limited setting
Introduction
There are nearly 9 million new burn cases worldwide, with a disproportional burn burden in low- and middle-income countries. Patients with significant burn injury frequently require multiple blood transfusions; however, there is a paucity of data regarding the effect of allogeneic blood transfusion following burn injury in a resource-limited setting with a high anemia prevalence at baseline. This study aimed to determine the effect of blood transfusion on burn mortality.
Methods
We performed a retrospective review of patients presenting with burns between 2011 and 2019, using prospectively collected burn registry data from Kamuzu Central Hospital (KCH). We performed multivariate logistic regression modeling to identify predictors of mortality, and we considered potential confounders.
Results
A total of 2359 patients were included. Mean age was 10 ± 14 with a male preponderance (58 %). The mean percent total body surface area burned (%TBSA) was 17.52 ± 14.46. 60 % of burns were caused by scald injuries and 37 % by flame. Below 40 % TBSA, our model predicted a higher probability of mortality for those transfused. However, above 40 % TBSA, the predicted probability of mortality is decreased for those transfused.
Conclusions
Allogeneic blood transfusion confers 1.23 (p < 0.03) times higher odds of mortality in burn patients. Mortality risk increased with age and units transfused. This study highlights the need for proper guidelines and protocols for allogeneic blood transfusion in burn patients. A more restrictive blood transfusion strategy may be more appropriate in a resource-limited setting.
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.
