Construction of an instrument to evaluate the quality of hospital care provided in burns units in Brazil: A Delphi study.

Background: Providing excellent care to patients with acute burns can result in lower mortality and disability in the long-term. There are no specific instruments to evaluate the quality of care provided at this stage of treatment. This study aims to create an instrument to evaluate the quality of hospital care provided to patients with acute burns in Brazil.

Frequency, complications, and mortality of inhalation injury in burn patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis protocol.
