Significance: Burns are debilitating, life threatening, and difficult to assess and manage.
Recent advances in assessment and management have occurred since a comprehensive …

In the management of indeterminate-depth burns (IDB), common challenges include the
ability to predict time to healing and regenerative potential, risk of burn wound progression …

Severe burns of the hands are extremely challenging, given their anatomic complexity and
vulnerability. Although excisional debridement with autografting remains the standard of …

Abstract Introduction Laser Doppler imaging (LDI) is still not an ubiquitous part of burn care
worldwide despite reported accuracy rates of more than 95%, which is significantly higher …

Background The aim of this study was to assess the predictive validity of the Patient and
Observer Assessment Scale (POSAS), in order to determine whether it can be used to …

An overall assessment of the diagnostic value of laser Doppler imaging (LDI) to assess burn
depth in patients is presented based on relevant studies. Both eligible research and relevant …

Background Pain associated with surgical or enzymatic burn wound debridement prevents
many burn centres from working outside an operating theatre, creating a burden …

Introduction Systematic reviews collate trial data to provide evidence to support clinical
decision-making. For effective synthesis, there must be consistency in outcome reporting …

Purpose of presentation/study To compare the accuracy of Laser Doppler Imaging (LDI) and
clinical assessment in differentiating between superficial and deep partial thickness burns to …

Early clinical assessment of burn depth and associated healing potential (HP) remains
extremely challenging, even for experienced surgeons. Inaccurate diagnosis often leads to …
