Psychiatric comorbidity in hospitalised burn patients: A Portuguese population-based observational retrospective study (2000–2015)
Psychiatric comorbidities in burn patients are associated with prolonged hospitalisation, increased mortality, and higher readmission rates. These findings underscore the need for early psychiatric screening and integrated multidisciplinary care to improve clinical outcomes and reduce the healthcare burden.
