Summary

Patients admitted to the ICU in a tertiary burn centre in Kuwait were analysed using multiple mortality prediction scores. The accuracy of these scores were compared to each other to ascertain which prediction modality provides the most accurate prognosis.

Detailed description

The aim of this study is to determine the accuracy of three established scoring systems used for burn patients admitted to the intensive care unit and to determine the risk factors associated with poor outcomes. A total of 211 patients with who were admitted to the ICBU in a tertiary care centre in Kuwait from January 2017 to December 2019 were analysed retrospectively. Data were collected using patient medical records. The FLAMES, BOBI and revised Baux scores were calculated, and the survivor and non-survivor scores of patients were analysed to determine the sensitivity, specificity and Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristics (AUROC) of the different scoring modalities.
