The measured effect magnitude of co-morbidities on burn injury mortality

Highlights • The ability to better prognosticate burn injury outcome is challenging. • Historically, the weighted contribution of comorbidity on burn mortality has not been considered. • We utilize LA50%TBSA to assess the weighted contribution of comorbidities. • Comorbidities have a greater effect...

Description
Summary:Highlights • The ability to better prognosticate burn injury outcome is challenging. • Historically, the weighted contribution of comorbidity on burn mortality has not been considered. • We utilize LA50%TBSA to assess the weighted contribution of comorbidities. • Comorbidities have a greater effect significant effect on the younger burn population. • Effect of comorbidities in the >65 yr age cohort was mitigated by co-linearity due to age.
