ABSTRACT

Objective:

Prognosis in hospitalized burn patients and their arrival is important. The purpose of this study is to determine the diagnostic value of biochemical parameters in the prognosis of patients with severe burns.

Material and Methods:

In a cross-sectional study - an analysis of emergency department patients with burns in the Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, the diagnostic value of biochemical parameters in the prognosis of patients with severe burns was studied.

Results:

Twenty-six patients were male and 24 were female. The mean age of males was 9.93±29.76 and of female patients was 13.34±31.63 years (p=0.616). The mean duration of hospitalization for men was 9.83±14.29 days and for females was 12.44±14.79 days (p=0.887). Average percentage of burn patients, male was 16.13±36.57 and the average percentage of female patients with burns was 16.77±43.05 percent (p=0.221). Alkaline levels (p=0.594), lactate (p≤0.001), creatine phosphokinase levels (p=0.403), amylase (p=0.139) and CRP (p-0.114) there was no significant difference in outcome levels.

Conclusion:

Lactate levels in the third phase is higher than in the second phase of the first stage. The amount of lactate levels are significantly different outcome (p<0.01).
