Does Increased Patient Load Improve Mortality in Burns?: Identifying Benchmark Parameters Defining Quality of Burn Care

Conclusions This systematic review demonstrates that a clear correlation between patient load and mortality reduction in adult burn treatment is not supported by the existing literature, requiring future studies. In contrast, all efforts aiming to improve the quality of burn care, such as isolation of burn patients, speed of wound closure, American Burn Association verification and especially standard operating procedures for burn care improve survival and quality of burn care.
