Risk modeling study demonstrates clinical predictors of bloodstream infection in severe burn patients, suggesting practical utility for early risk assessment in intensive care settings.
The total burn area, days of ICU stay, and combination of inhalation injury are the risk factors of bloodstream infection in patients with extremely severe burns. The early prediction model for bloodstream infection risk in patients with extremely severe burns based on these factors has certain predictive value for burn centers with relatively stable treatment methods and bacterial epidemiology.
