Abstract
Aim of this case report is to predict the outcome of patients presenting with severe burns is crucial in guiding clinical judgment. Advancements in burn management over the years have significantly decreased burn mortality. There are various scoring systems that are formularized in predicting mortality in burns. In this article we would like to describe our pilot study in using Belgium outcome of burn injury scoring system (Table 1) in predicting mortality in burns patients.
