Factors affecting mortality in burns: a single center study

The study investigates factors affecting mortality in burn patients over a six-month period at a tertiary care hospital in India, focusing on 80 patients with varying causes and extents of burns. Key findings indicate that increased age, total body surface area burned, presence of inhalation injury, and psychological factors like depression significantly impact mortality rates, which were notably high among pregnant women. The results aim to inform treatment protocols and enhance outcomes for burn patients in similar healthcare settings.
