Indicators of the number of surgeries and severity in pediatric patients with severe burns: a retrospective comparative study
The total burn surface area and BI are associated with the number of surgeries and severity of illness in pediatric patients with severe burns. WBC counts serve as an early adjunctive indicator for surgical burden, though further validation is needed to account for confounding variables. These findings facilitate the rapid identification of high-risk patients who may require transfer to hospital with specialized resources and the development of tailored treatments.
