Purpose: To investigate the effect of StrataGraft (bioengineered allogeneic cellularized construct [BACC]) treatment on inpatient length of stay (LOS) as an indicator of hospital resource utilization.
Patients And Methods: Data from the single-arm StrataCAT trial for adult patients with deep partial-thickness (DPT) burns who received BACC were compared with data from a matched external control arm comprising patients who received autografting for burn treatment from the National Burn Repository (NBR) during the same time period as StrataCAT. A matching, quasi-experimental approach was used to investigate the cause-and-effect relationship between BACC treatment and LOS (days).
Background: A phase 3b, open-label, multicenter, expanded-access study (NCT04123548) evaluated safety and clinical outcomes of StrataGraft treatment in adults with deep partial-thickness thermal burns with intact dermal elements.
Methods: Adult patients with 3 % to < 50 % total body surface area burns were treated with a single application of ≤ 1:1 meshed StrataGraft and followed for 24 weeks. Primary endpoint was count and percentage of patients with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs).
Aim: This retrospective observational study provides a holistic view of the clinical and economic characteristics of inpatient treatment of patients with thermal burns undergoing autografting, by integrating real-world data (RWD) from medical records from healthcare providers (HCPs) and administrative claims.
Methods: We identified eligible patients between July 1, 2010, and November 30, 2019, from the HealthCore Integrated Research Database (HIRD) and obtained their medical records from HCPs. We abstracted data from medical records to describe patient demographics and clinical characteristics and obtained costs of treatment from claims.
The purpose of this systematic literature review is to critically evaluate split-thickness skin graft (STSG) donor-site morbidities. The search of peer-reviewed articles in three databases from January 2009 to July 2019 identified 4271 English-language publications reporting STSG donor-site clinical outcomes, complications, or quality of life. Of these studies, 77 met inclusion criteria for analysis.

Applicability of RCT outcomes to performance expectations in real-world wound populations raises questions about generalizing their results. The primary aim of this decellularized, dehydrated human amniotic membrane (DDHAM) Use Registry Study was to gain experience and observe outcomes with use of a DDHAM in uninfected, full-thickness, or partial-thickness wounds that, in the investigators' opinions, would benefit from such treatment.
