This review article comprehensively summarizes the diagnoses, treatment options, and current research on inhalation injuries in burned patients. The three major injury classes are the following: supraglottic, subglottic, and systemic. Treatment options for these three subtypes differ based on the pathophysiologic changes that each one elicits. The main pathophysiologic change ...

Study identified numeric score cut-points that define different levels of social participation ability and described each level for the Impact Burn Recovery Evaluation (LIBRE) Profile, a patient-reported outcome measure developed to assess social participation in adult burn survivors. An expert panel identified numeric score cut-points that distinguish different levels of ...

Study developed item pools that will be used to create a computerized adaptive test (CAT) assessing post-burn recovery in school-aged children. Item pool development was guided by the previously developed School-Aged Life Impact Burn Recovery Evaluation (SA-LIBRE5-12) Conceptual Framework. The item pool development process involved a systematic literature review, extraction ...

Study assessed long-term systolic and diastolic function, myocardial fibrosis, and exercise tolerance in adolescent survivors of severe pediatric burn injury. Sixty-five participants (40 post-burn and 25 healthy controls) were enrolled in the study. At study initiation, post-burn participants were an average age of 19 years, were at 12 years post-burn, ...

Expanding upon the Shriners Hospitals for Children/American Burn Association Burn Outcome Questionnaire 0 to 5 (BOQ0–5), this study developed a conceptual framework describing domains important in assessing recovery from burn injury among preschool-aged children (1–5 years). This framework was iteratively refined based on a literature review, focus groups, interviews, and ...

Study developed item pools for a parent-reported, burn-specific patient-reported outcomes measure comprised of questions appropriate for children aged 1 to 5 years with burn injuries. Item development was based on a framework provided by previous work to develop the Preschool Life Impact Burn Recovery Evaluation (LIBRE) Conceptual Model. The Preschool ...

Study investigated whether commonly used mortality prognostication scores (i.e., revised Baux and Ryan scores) predict long-term, health-related quality of life (HRQOL) after burn injury using data obtained from the Burn Model System database (1994-2019). The revised Baux and Ryan scores use patient age, burn size, and presence of inhalation injury ...

This review examined the quality and applicability of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation to assess whether the guideline development has followed a prescribed and recognized vetting process and the CPG content specifically includes function. A key word search of the PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, CINHAL, and ...

Study reviewed the quality of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) that address rehabilitation for people with moderate/severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). CPGs are statements that provide recommendations which are informed by a systematic review of evidence about diagnosis or treatment and include an assessment of the benefits and harms of alternative ...

Study compared the effects of long-term psychosocial functioning and mental health of a day hospital-based exercise program (DAYEX) versus a community-based exercise program (COMBEX) in severely burned children. Eighteen patients randomized to DAYEX or COMBEX were assessed at intensive care unit discharge and up to 1 year postburn. The Child ...

Study reviewed the literature examining the association between acute hospital physical function and various hospital outcomes and healthcare utilization. A search of the MEDLINE database was performed using term that included acute functional outcomes and frailty outcomes. Studies up to September 2017 were selected if they were in English and ...

Study reviewed clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for burn injury to assess the extent to which they encourage practices that result in optimal care at all phases of treatment. CPGs provide an efficient route from research to practice because they follow a prescribed, vetted process for evidence collection. A literature search ...

Study identified the published literature that focuses on the impact of burn injuries on physical, psychological, or social functioning, and summarized the characteristics of the studies and their outcomes. The authors included literature published after 1980, focusing on burn outcomes in children aged 5 to 18 years. Each eligible study ...

Study examined differences in long-term employment outcomes following burn injury across various postacute care (PAC) settings. A total of 695 adult survivors of burn injury enrolled between May 1994 and June 2016 who required PAC at a Burn Model System center following acute care discharge were included. Participants were divided ...

Article reviews current perspectives in the diagnosis and treatment of sepsis and septic shock in burn patients. Modern burn care has led to unprecedented survival rates in burn patients whose injuries were fatal a few decades ago. Along with improved survival, new challenges have emerged in the management of burn ...

Study developed an admission scoring system that assesses the risk of development of depression or posttraumatic stress (DPTS)symptoms in the burn population. This study is a retrospective review of the prospectively collected Burn Model System National Database that included 486 adult burn survivors enrolled from 2014 to 2018. The primary ...

Study examined the effects of oxandrolone and propranolol (Oxprop) treatment during a 6-week rehabilitative exercise training (RET) program in severely burned children. In this placebo-controlled randomized trial, it was hypothesize that RET combined with oxandrolone and Oxprop will improve muscle mass and function and protein turnover in severely burned children ...

Study quantified the training logs for exercise intensity, frequency, and duration of a 6-week rehabilitative exercise training (RET) program to develop specific guidelines for outpatient RET in children recovering from severe burns. Thirty-three children with severe burns completed the 6-week resistance and aerobic exercise training program at Shriners Hospital for ...
