Predicting return to work after serious burn injury is crucial. This study found that the extent of body surface area burned significantly influences recovery time, enabling better patient and employer expectations.

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Burn Care
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Limited research exists on factors affecting return to work post-burn injury.
  • Understanding these factors is vital for patient, employer, and healthcare system planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To prospectively investigate factors influencing the time to return to work after serious burn injury.
  • To develop a predictive model for return-to-work timelines.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective follow-up of 65 burn patients who had returned to work.
  • Analysis of variables including burn severity (total body surface area, partial-thickness, full-thickness), treatment duration, payment source, demographics, and burn type.

Main Results:

  • Percent total body surface area burned was the most significant predictor of return-to-work time.
  • Other key predictors included percent full-thickness burn, percent partial-thickness burn, and treatment duration.
  • A regression equation was developed to predict return-to-work duration.

    • Conclusions:

    • Burn severity and treatment duration are key determinants of return-to-work timelines.
    • The developed regression equation offers improved predictability for expected delays.
    • Findings can inform patients, families, employers, and healthcare funders about recovery expectations.
