Raybe was incredibly brave. Ran into the fire to try and save her fiance.
Sadly, the odds are against her.
Prognosis[edit]
Prognosis in the USA
[86]
TBSA | Mortality |
---|
0–9% | 0.6% |
10–19% | 2.9% |
20–29% | 8.6% |
30–39% | 16% |
40–49% | 25% |
50–59% | 37% |
60–69% | 43% |
70–79% | 57% |
80–89% | 73% |
90–100% | 85% |
Inhalation | 23% |
The prognosis is worse in those with larger burns, those who are older, and females.
[2] The presence of a smoke inhalation injury, other significant injuries such as long bone fractures, and serious co-morbidities (e.g. heart disease, diabetes, psychiatric illness, and suicidal intent) also influence prognosis.
[2] On average, of those admitted to United States burn centers, 4% die,
[3] with the outcome for individuals dependent on the extent of the burn injury. For example, admittees with burn areas less than 10% TBSA had a mortality rate of less than 1%, while admittees with over 90% TBSA had a mortality rate of 85%.
[86] In Afghanistan, people with more than 60% TBSA burns rarely survive.
[3] The
Baux score has historically been used to determine prognosis of major burns. However, with improved care, it is no longer very accurate.
[15] The score is determined by adding the size of the burn (% TBSA) to the age of the person, and taking that to be more or less equal to the risk of death.
[15] Burns in 2013 resulted in 1.2 million
years lived with disability and 12.3 million
disability adjusted life years.
