Predictors of generic and burn-specific quality of life among adult burn patients admitted to a Lebanese burn care center: a cross-sectional single-center study.

Burn injuries carry significant implications on short- and long-term quality of health. The present study undertook the first attempt to characterize generic and burn-specific quality of life and their predictors among adult burn patients admitted to a Lebanese burn care center. 130 adult patients admitted to the Lebanese Geitaoui Hospital burn center between 2013 and 2019 willingly answered Arabic versions of RAND's 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36), and the Burn-Specific Health Scale-Brief (BSHS-B).

Bacterial infection profile and predictors among patients admitted to a burn care center: A retrospective study.

Background: Infection is the main cause of mortality and complications in burn patients. The present study was the first to examine the local profile and antecedents of bacterial infections among patients admitted to a Lebanese burn care center.

Methods: The present study was a retrospective analysis of the occurrence and recurrence of infection, its characteristics as well as antimicrobial susceptibility among 475 patients admitted to the Burn Centre at the Lebanese Geitaoui Hospital between January 2014 and December 2018.
