AI Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on patients with early-onset neurological impairments like cerebral palsy and autism, who experience sensorimotor deficits that can lead to burn injuries.
- It analyzed 51 patients treated at a burn center over four years, revealing an average total body surface area (TBSA) burned of 8.9%.
- Despite this seemingly low percentage, the patients faced prolonged hospital stays due to the complexities of their conditions.
Article Abstract
Many patients suffer from sensorimotor deficits that may contribute to burn injury. This retrospective study examines burn injuries in the subgroup of patients that suffer from the early onset neurological impairments of mental retardation, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, autism, and attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder. Fifty-one patients who suffered from the above-mentioned early-onset neurological impairments were admitted to our burn center during a 4-year period. The average TBSA burned was 8.9% yet resulted in prolonged hospitalizations. This study describes our burn center's experience in treating patients admitted with early-onset neurological impairments.
