Recent analysis of mortality in burn units worldwide has shown that for well performing units the LD50 (the point at which 50% of patients would be expected to die) for major burns has significantly improved and the best units have a modified Baux score of 130-140.

In this study, we compared the predictability of the rBaux and Baux score to find out the applicable value of rBaux score in patients admitted to the National Burn Hospital in Hanoi, Viet Nam.

May 23, 2023 · As there is no consensus on the optimal formula to use, we aimed to investigate the predictive value of the revised Baux score in comparison to other models when determining mortality risk in patients with burn injuries.

The results showed that adult and male was predominant (81.9% and 77.7%), with burns mostly caused by flame (93.6%) and burn extent of 68.6±24.3% and deep burn area of 44.6±25.2% total body surface area. Rate of required mechanical ventilation patients was 95.22%.

Severe burns present a significant clinical challenge and are resource intensive. Predicting mortality at admission for burn patients is useful in determining the likely outcomes of interventions and in stratifying levels of care. In addition, …

May 1, 2021 · When it comes to critically ill burn patients, the APACHE II score had a lesser sensitivity and specificity in predicting mortality. This is expected, given the fact that the FLAMES score is ultimately a modified scoring system incorporating the APACHE II score and other burn-specific variables.

Our data suggest that the Revised Baux Score and the updated CCI are independently associated with inpatient mortality in patients admitted to intensive care with burn injuries affecting ≥15% TBSA. This emphasises the importance of comorbidities in the prognosis of patients with severe burn injuries …

Purpose: To estimate the risk that a burn patient will die using a modified Baux score as reported by Osler et al. Osler et al developed equations that modified the original Baux score. This provides an updated version that can be used to estimate the risk of death.

The Baux score was modified using data on 39,888 burned patients using a logistic regression model that showed that age and percent burn contribute almost equally to mortality and that the presence of inhalation injury added the equivalent of 17 years (or 17% burn). These observations suggested a revised Baux Score:

1961 has been revised using the national burn repository data to the modern Revised Baux score, which should be used for all patients undergoing resuscitation. Modern burn surgery and critical care has substantially improved outcomes for burn patients, with the LD50 Baux Score now well exceeding 100. All patients will
