Abstract:

Study identified factors associated with long-term insulin resistance in pediatric burn injury survivors. The study sample consisted of 61 pediatric burn injury survivors 24 to 36 months after the burn injury, who underwent an oral glucose tolerance test. To assess insulin resistance, the authors calculated the area under the curve for glucose and insulin. The diagnostic criteria of the American Diabetes Association were used to define individuals with impaired glucose metabolism. Additional data collected include body composition, anthropometric measurements, burn characteristics, and demographic information. The data were analyzed using multivariate linear regression analysis. Approximately 12 percent of the patients met the criteria for impaired glucose metabolism. After adjusting for possible confounders, burn size, age, and body fat percentage were associated with the area under the curve for glucose (P
