The outcomes of patients who gastrectomy over a twenty-year period in a high-volume unit are reported.
Methods: All patients requiring gastrectomy to achieve CCR for appendiceal PMP between 2000 and 2020 were reviewed.

Background: The Abbreviated Burn Severity Index (ABSI) is a five-variable scale to help evaluate burn severity upon initial assessment. As other studies have been conducted with comparatively small patient populations, the purpose of this study is to revalidate the prognostic relevance of the ABSI in our selected population (N = 1193) 4 decades after its introduction, considering the progress in the treatment of severe burn injuries over the past decades. In addition, we evaluate whether comorbidities influence the survival probability of severely burned patients.
