Assessing the generalizability of a National Burn Database to the United States pediatric burn injury population.

Background: A national database is used to evaluate pediatric burn survivor outcomes, but the generalizability to the United States pediatric burn injury population is unclear, as only 60% of enrollees are U.S. residents.

Comparison of Demographics Across the Burn, Spinal Cord Injury, and Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems.

Objective: To analyze the demographic profiles of participants in the traumatic brain injury, burn injury, and spinal cord injury model systems databases.

Design: Data from the Burn Model System (BMS), Traumatic Brain Injury Model System (TBIMS), and Spinal Cord Injury Model System (SCIMS) National Databases were analyzed from 1994-2020.

Setting: Not applicable.

Outcomes of Patients with Amputation following Electrical Burn Injuries.

This study aimed to examine patients who sustained amputation as a result of electrical burns and to evaluate their long-term health outcomes compared to non-electrical burn patients with amputation. A retrospective analysis was conducted on burn patients from 1993 to 2021, utilizing the Burn Model System National Database, which includes the Veterans RAND 12-Item Health Survey and the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System 29. The data was collected at discharge, 6 months, and 12 months after the burns occurred.
