Description

Burns are one of the most common forms of traumatic injuries globally, and are attributed to longer stays in hospital, particularly in the intensive care unit (ICU), compared to other injuries. Burn pathophysiology is complex, consisting of multiple phases of disordered metabolism that contribute to the challenge of burn treatment and management. While there are studies in the published literature that provide evidence for the benefits of early excision and grafting of burn wounds, there is still no consensus for the optimal timing to burn surgery for adult patients, in terms of what is early and how to translate earlier surgery into practise. Using data collected in the Western Australian Burn Clinical Data Registry since 2004, this retrospective cohort study aims to explore this gap in the literature. From a sample population consisting of patients that underwent surgery for their burn injuries, patients will be categorised into cohorts (<48 hours, 48 hours to 5 days, and >5 days) derived from the time between burn diagnosis and burn surgery. The associations between time to surgery and variables including length of hospital stay (LOS), duration of care, hospital-acquired complications (HACs) and in-hospital intervention will be statistically analysed for significance. The results of this study aim to better inform surgical management of burns in an acute setting. By potentially providing evidence for improved outcomes, these results will clarify the optimal timing of burn surgery for better short-term post-operative outcomes.
