Ederer IA, et al. - Researchers evaluated the gender-specific differences among burn patients with special regard to burn mortality via retrospectively studying 839 patients who were admitted to the Burn Intensive Care Unit (BICU) and underwent surgical treatment between June 1994 and December 2014. Women had only apparently higher risk in univariate regression analysis. After adjusting for confounding factors, gender-specific differences diminished. Predictors of mortality included age, % total body surface area, inhalation injury, full-thickness burn. This study cohort thus suggests the same risk of death in women and men.
