The impact of serum zinc normalization on clinical outcomes in severe burn patients

ConclusionsThis was the first study, to our knowledge, to assess the clinical impact of normalizing serum zinc levels in patients with severe burns. Our results suggest the normalization of serum zinc levels through individualized zinc supplementation is not associated with improvement in clinical outcomes during hospitalization and therefore fixed-dose zinc supplementation without acquisition of serum zinc measurements should be considered.
