Analysis of the predictors of hypertrophic scarring pain and neuropathic pain after burn

CONCLUSIONS: The model in our study has clarified that sex, age, target scar location, burn depth of target scar, hyperplasia time, and vascularity, especially pliability, may provide excellent prediction of hypertrophic scarring pain outcome; for neuropathic pain, only hyperplasia time has further prospects, with mVSS total as a potential forecast. In an era increasingly aware of life quality, this work may contribute to the elaboration of strategies to hypertrophic scarring pain management, provide an individualized therapy, and help patients live a pain-free life.PMID:34670714 | DOI:10.1016/j.burns.2021.08.007
