    This study introduces a simple graphical method for assessing burn patient severity. It aids non-technical staff in estimating mortality risk using age, burn percentage, and perineal burn presence for better triage decisions.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical assessment
    • Burn injury management
    • Patient triage

    Background:

    • Accurate assessment of burn patient severity is crucial for appropriate medical care and resource allocation.
    • Existing methods for severity estimation can be complex and time-consuming, requiring specialized training.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel, user-friendly graphical method for rapidly calculating admission severity in burn patients.
    • To provide a tool that assists non-technical personnel in estimating patient mortality risk.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a graphical chart based on an extensively validated multiple logistic regression model.
    • The model incorporates patient age, estimated percentage of body surface area burned, and the presence of a perineal burn.
    • The method involves using a straight-edge on the chart to determine a severity score.

    Main Results:

    • The graphical method provides a quick computation of admission severity for burn patients.
    • The severity score estimates patient mortality risk, derived from a large dataset of 11,200 patients.
    • The tool is designed for ease of use by non-technical personnel.

    Conclusions:

    • The described graphical method offers a simple and efficient way to estimate burn patient severity and mortality risk.
    • This tool can aid in determining the appropriate level of care and support triage decisions in emergency settings.
    • Its ease of use makes it valuable for widespread application in burn care units.
