A 10-Year Retrospective Cohort Study of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital.

SJS/TEN incidence matched published rates. Severity of SJS/TEN and mortality were correlated. Neither systemic immune suppression nor time taken to be admitted to the definitive tertiary centre correlated with mortality. Expert multidisciplinary care in the RBWH ICU and Burns Unit is likely to contribute to the excellent mortality outcomes found. Limitations of the study included its retrospective cohort design, that it was performed in a single centre, and the relatively small sample size leading to statistically insignificant findings. Our results should bolster growing data to improve understanding of this rare but serious condition.
