Hospital-based, acute care within 30 days following discharge for acute burn injury.

Background: While the acute management of burn injury has received substantial attention, patients may undergo additional hospital based, acute care following initial management. We conducted this study to quantify and describe patients' full hospital based, acute care needs within 30 days following an acute burn injury.

Methods: Using Florida, Nebraska, and New York state inpatient and emergency department databases, we identified adult patients discharged for an acute burn injury from January 1, 2010-November 30, 2014.
