Résumé
The Abbreviated Burn Severity Index and comparable scores are used to assess the probability of survival in burned patients. These scores may be useful during the initial management of the patient and in addition to the clinical evaluation. As current models do not include the influence of chronic diseases, we evaluated the impact of comorbidities on survival probability, aiming to improve the existing scoring systems and survival probability accuracy further. In this retrospective single-center study, patient data from a center for Severe Burn Injury were collected. Over a period of 20 years (2000-2019), a total of 1,193 patients were recorded. The influence of comorbidities (chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus type II, and cardiovascular diseases) on the survival probability was analyzed using regression models. These analyses were stratified for sex and period. Pre-existing chronic kidney disease, as well as pre-existing cardiovascular disease, had a significant influence on the survival of patients. For chronic kidney disease, the influence was stronger in men than in women. Women were more likely to survive a burn injury with a history of chronic renal insufficiency. An improved Abbreviated Burn Severity Index model, which assigns an additional point for chronic kidney disease, best-described survival probability in our patient cohort. Cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease both have an impact on the survival probability of severely burned patients, but this impact is more severe for chronic kidney disease. An additional Abbreviated Burn Severity Index point for chronic kidney disease would be a proposed adaptation to predict the outcome of burn patients better.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
The Abbreviated Burn Severity Index and comparable scores are used to assess the probability of survival in burned patients. These scores may be useful during the initial management of the patient and in addition to the clinical evaluation. As current models do not include the influence of chronic diseases, we evaluated the impact of comorbidities on survival probability, aiming to improve the existing scoring systems and survival probability accuracy further.
METHODS
METHODS
In this retrospective single-center study, patient data from a center for Severe Burn Injury were collected. Over a period of 20 years (2000-2019), a total of 1,193 patients were recorded. The influence of comorbidities (chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus type II, and cardiovascular diseases) on the survival probability was analyzed using regression models. These analyses were stratified for sex and period.
RESULTS
RESULTS
Pre-existing chronic kidney disease, as well as pre-existing cardiovascular disease, had a significant influence on the survival of patients. For chronic kidney disease, the influence was stronger in men than in women. Women were more likely to survive a burn injury with a history of chronic renal insufficiency. An improved Abbreviated Burn Severity Index model, which assigns an additional point for chronic kidney disease, best-described survival probability in our patient cohort.
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
Cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease both have an impact on the survival probability of severely burned patients, but this impact is more severe for chronic kidney disease. An additional Abbreviated Burn Severity Index point for chronic kidney disease would be a proposed adaptation to predict the outcome of burn patients better.
