Abstract: (265 Views)
Background and Objective: Providing timely and high-quality health services for pediatric burn cases is vital in reducing the death probability. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the value of P-Baux and R-Baux indexes in anticipating burn-related consequences among children.
Methods: The present cross-sectional investigation was carried out in 2018 at a burn referral center located in Tabriz. Through the census method, all children <12 years old who were admitted to the hospital with burn symptoms during the sampling period were included in the study. Data collection was carried out through a researcher-developed questionnaire. R-Baux and P-Baux scores were computed based on the patient's records. Data were analyzed using SPSS17 through multivariate logistic regression with a significance level of 0.05.
Findings: A total of 213 children were included in the study. In terms of mortality, the area under curve (AUC) of the R-Baux and P-Baux scores was similar (0.959). Moreover, the AUC of the outcomes for intensive care unit (ICU) admission and need for intubation was 99%. Logistic regression revealed a significant correlation between the need for intubation and death with both P-Baux and R-Baux scores (p<0.05). Admission to the ICU was only significantly related to the P-Baux score (p=0.022).
Conclusion: Utilizing P-Baux and R-Baux scores not only anticipates the death rate but also allows health service providers to prioritize patients and prepare proper facilities to prevent pediatric burn-related mortalities.
