Electrical injury - a dual center analysis of patient characteristics, therapeutic specifics and outcome predictors.

Background: Electrical injuries represent life-threatening emergencies. Evidence on differences between high (HVI) and low voltage injuries (LVI) regarding characteristics at presentation, rhabdomyolysis markers, surgical and intensive burn care and outcomes is scarce.

Methods: Consecutive patients admitted to two burn centers for electrical injuries over an 18-year period (1998-2015) were evaluated.
