Machine Learning–Based Prediction of Delirium and Risk Factor Identification in Intensive Care Unit Patients With Burns: Retrospective Observational Study

Machine Learning–Based Prediction of Delirium and Risk Factor Identification in Intensive Care Unit Patients With Burns: Retrospective Observational Study

This ICU delirium prediction approach using machine learning has the potential to support the early detection of ICU delirium in patients with burns and, ultimately, improve patient outcomes. This was a retrospective observational study focused on predicting delirium in patients with burns admitted to the ICU. This study included 82 patients with burns aged ≥18 years who were admitted to the Mie University Hospital ICU for ≥24 hours between January 2015 and June 2023.

Assessing the Feasibility of Using Parents’ Social Media Conversations to Inform Burn First Aid Interventions: Mixed Methods Study

Assessing the Feasibility of Using Parents’ Social Media Conversations to Inform Burn First Aid Interventions: Mixed Methods Study

Of the 94 initial posts asking about treating a burn injury, where the person asking had not already received medical advice from a hospital or clinic, 65% (61/94) were asking for a burn sustained by themselves or another adult (16/61, 26% contact burns, 14/61, 23% sunburn, and 12/60, 20% scalds), 32% (30/94) were asking for burns sustained by their child (12/30, 40% contact burns, 9/30, 30% sunburn, (5/30, 17% scalds), 2% (2/94) were asking for burned pets, and 1% (1/94) did not specify who was burned (Table

From the Cochrane Library: Hydrosurgical Debridement Versus Conventional Surgical Debridement for Acute Partial-Thickness Burns

From the Cochrane Library: Hydrosurgical Debridement Versus Conventional Surgical Debridement for Acute Partial-Thickness Burns

Partial-thickness burns often require surgical excision with dressings or reconstruction. Standard of care includes early debridement (tangential excision of nonviable tissue) followed by split-thickness skin grafting. The goal of debridement is to reach a plane of viable tissue, while sparing healthy, uninjured tissue, expediting healing and minimizing scarring.

Using Social Media for the Prevention of Pediatric Burn Injuries: Pilot Design and Usability Study

Using Social Media for the Prevention of Pediatric Burn Injuries: Pilot Design and Usability Study

Burns are a leading cause of injury among children 5 years old and younger in the United States. Approximately 50,000 children were treated in the emergency department for unintentional burns in 2018 [1]. Among all etiologies, scald burns are the most common type sustained by children. Most scald burns are related to spills or contact with hot food, beverages, or tap water, making the kitchen and the bathroom common locations for these injuries in the home [2].

Finding the Best Way to Deliver Online Educational Content in Low-Resource Settings: Qualitative Survey Study

Finding the Best Way to Deliver Online Educational Content in Low-Resource Settings: Qualitative Survey Study

Burns affect more than 11 million people annually, with 95% occurring in poor countries, and the majority of those affected are children. Interburns’ tailored training programs focus on the reality of burn care services on the ground in low-resource settings and emphasize the need for knowledge turned into action. The challenge is how to expand the reach of Interburns’ face-to-face training materials in an easily acceptable online format.

Teleconsultation Using Mobile Phones for Diagnosis and Acute Care of Burn Injuries Among Emergency Physicians: Mixed-Methods Study

Teleconsultation Using Mobile Phones for Diagnosis and Acute Care of Burn Injuries Among Emergency Physicians: Mixed-Methods Study

The app was introduced to the Western Cape, South Africa, in 2014 and now allows for referrals to 15 specialties such as ophthalmology, orthopedics, dermatology, and burns. The app currently handles over 5000 referrals per month, with 62 specialist teams actively taking referrals on Vula. The ability to refer patients with burns was introduced in April 2016, and it handled around 250 referrals during 2017.

Combining Technology and Research to Prevent Scald Injuries (the Cool Runnings Intervention): Randomized Controlled Trial

Combining Technology and Research to Prevent Scald Injuries (the Cool Runnings Intervention): Randomized Controlled Trial

Childhood burns are serious injuries that can result in substantial pain and suffering and lead to life-long scarring and surgical procedures as the child grows. The physical, emotional, and financial burden to the child and family can be significant [8,9]. The leading cause of childhood burns in developed countries is hot drink scalds [10-13]. In Australia, hot drink scalds account for 18% of all childhood burns [14,15].

Identifying and Understanding the Health Information Experiences and Preferences of Caregivers of Individuals With Either Traumatic Brain Injury, Spinal Cord Injury, or Burn Injury: A Qualitative Investigation

Identifying and Understanding the Health Information Experiences and Preferences of Caregivers of Individuals With Either Traumatic Brain Injury, Spinal Cord Injury, or Burn Injury: A Qualitative Investigation

There’s not a lot known about burns, relatively speaking. There’s a lot of anecdotal stuff from survivors but there’s not a lot publishedresearch on burns and burn recovery. We’ve chosen doctors who are, who will listen. Who are open to, if they don’t know the answer, taking what we say, and checking it. But last time we looked for a doctor, I actually went and interviewed doctors...because there aren’t a lot of people that know about (patient’s) exact condition.
