Sepsis in burn care: incidence and outcomes
Sepsis represents a significant clinical challenge in burn patients, with age, TBSA, inhalation injury, and comorbidities significantly influencing its incidence and outcomes. Notably, early sepsis onset and female sex are associated with increased mortality, highlighting the need for advanced monitoring, prompt interventions, and the exploration of innovative sex-specific strategies to optimize outcomes in this high-risk population.
