Assessing the generalizability of a National Burn Database to the United States pediatric burn injury population
Differences between U.S. and Mexico groups were likely attributable to children with more severe burns being transferred to the United States for care, whereas those with low-severity burns were treated locally. This suggests that children from Mexico in the database were not representative of the pediatric burn injury population of the United States or Mexico more broadly and caution should be used before generalizations are made using this database.
