Skin grafting as a preventive strategy against infections in children with deep burns
Background
Infectious complications are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with deep burns, especially pediatric patients. While autologous split thickness skin grafting is commonly used after escharectomy to promote wound healing, its effect on reducing infection rates and the need for antibiotics in this population is not well understood.
Objective
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of skin grafting on the incidence of wound infectious complications, systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) development, and the need for antibiotic treatment, in pediatric patients.
Methods
A retrospective cohort of 123 pediatric burn patients treated at Bufalini Hospital, Cesena, Italy, between 2018 and 2024 was analyzed. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was used to balance covariates. Cox proportional hazards models were applied to assess the influence of grafting on the time to wound infectious complications, subsequent SIRS development, and need for antibiotic treatment. Sensitivity analysis using both time-insensitive logistic models and leave-one-out approach were performed to assess robustness of findings.
Results
Skin grafting significantly reduced the risk of wound infectious complications (hazard ratio = 0.12, 95 % CI: 0.02–0.58, p < 0.01) and SIRS development (hazard ratio = 0.14, 95 % CI: 0.03–0.73, p = 0.02). A non-significant trend was also identified in the need for antibiotic treatment. Sensitivity analysis confirmed the robustness of the results.
Conclusion
Autologous split thickness grafting plays a critical role in preventing infectious complications in pediatric burn patients. In children with deep burns, early skin grafting may play a pivotal role as part of the treatment protocol, pending confirmation from larger multi-center studies.
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.
