Geographic Variation in Outcomes After Burn Injury: A Burn Model System National Database Study.

Background: Geography is an important yet underexplored factor that may influence the care and outcomes of burn survivors. This study aims to examine the impact of geography on physical and psychosocial function after burn injury.

Methods: Data from the Burn Model Systems National Database (1997-2015) were analyzed.

The Development and Validity of the Adult Burn Outcome Questionnaire Short Form.

Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are useful for understanding the health needs and outcomes of the general public. We aim to develop a burn-specific metric-Adult Burn Outcome Questionnaire (ABOQ)-that is brief and can be administered electronically to all burn survivors over the age of 18. The 14-item ABOQ was developed from the already validated Young Adult Burn Outcome Questionnaire (YABOQ) long form.
