Abstract

Burn injuries can present in multiple ways and in a diverse patient population. Its severity is not only determined by the nature of burn injury or the extent of the injury but also by several patient factors. Mortality in burn injury used to be very unpredictable but now there are various means of predicting morbidity and mortality in a burns patient. The abbreviated burns severity index (ABSI) score is one of such recent tools formulated to aid in predicting outcome in burns patient. In this case study we evaluate the role of Abbreviated Burns Severity Index (ABSI) score in predicting mortality outcome in a patient with thermal burns.
