Abstract

Burns is one of the risk factors contributing to the mortality and morbidity burden of developing countries. Even though advancements in burn patient management have significantly decreased the mortality. Predicting the outcome of severe burns patient at presentation plays a paramount role in guiding clinical judgment. Multiple scoring systems are available to predict mortality in burns patients in developed countries. In this article, the Revised Baux score has been applied in predicting mortality in burns patients.
