Background: The "one-day-per-percent" rule states that for burn patients, one day of hospital stay can be expected for each percentage of burned body surface. This study aimed to test the rule's predictive value.
Methods: The study is a register-based observational study on all burns treated in the Norwegian National Burn Center 2000-22.
Background: The number of burn patients over the age of 75 receiving advanced treatment, including extensive surgery and intensive care, is increasing. We aimed to describe the treatment and outcomes for burn patients over the age of 75 admitted to the National Burn Centre at Haukeland University Hospital. We also wanted to investigate whether frailty scores can be a predictor of the treatment outcome.

The aims of the study were to review the frequency of use of vasoactive and/or inotropic drugs in initial burn resuscitation, and assess the benefits and harms of adding such drugs to fluids.
Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, UpToDate, and SveMed+ through 3 December 2021.
Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how burn patients in intensive care are helped with breathing machines, specifically using something called lung-protective ventilation.
- Researchers checked the breathing settings of 160 patients from 28 hospitals in 16 countries to see if using low volumes of air helped them recover better.
- They found that most patients were getting this type of ventilation, but it didn't seem to make a big difference in how many days they were off the ventilator or if they were alive 28 days later.

Background: The objective of this article is to elucidate the scope of burn injuries in Norway, on the basis of those patients who had sustained a burn injury that caused hospitalisation through a calendar year.
Material And Method: The article is based on data retrieved from the Norwegian Patient Registry on patients discharged from Norwegian hospitals in 2012 with a burn injury as their main diagnosis, supplemented with activity data for children admitted to the Burn Unit, Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen, during the period 2013 – 15.
