Understanding Recovery After Serious Burn Injuries

This study is observing adults (ages 18-80) with serious burn injuries to learn more about how their bodies respond to treatment and recovery. There are no new treatments being tested; you would receive standard burn care. Researchers will collect small blood and tissue samples (if you have surgery) and review information from your medical records, like vital signs and lab results. The main goal is to find patterns that might help predict who is at higher risk for infections (sepsis) or other problems after a burn. This information could help doctors develop better ways to care for burn patients in the future. About 80 patients are expected to participate.

Study design
This is an observational study, meaning researchers will watch and collect information without giving any new treatments. About 80 adult patients with burn injuries will be included.
What's involved
You would provide small blood samples during your hospital stay, often at the same time as routine blood tests. If you have surgery for your burns, small pieces of tissue that would normally be discarded might also be collected. Your medical records will be reviewed during your hospital stay and for up to 12 months after you leave the hospital.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Researchers will collect information during your hospitalization and for up to 12 months after you are discharged.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

Male and female ages 18 years and older (maximum age of 80 years old) with burn injury or related illness requiring surgical care or treatment in a critical care or emergency setting who are being cared for at an SC2i-member clinical care facility (Emory/Grady, USF and USAISR) will be considered for study.
Burn Injury \>10% TBSA
Ability to understand the purposes and risks of the study and willingly give written informed consent, or in the case of incapacitated patients, a willing legally authorized representative (LAR) is able to give written informed consent.

Exclusion

Any condition that, in the opinion of the attending physician, would place the patient or volunteer subject at undue risk by participating. Specific conditions include but are not limited to anemia prohibitive of phlebotomy, or technical considerations that would prevent acquisition of sufficient tissue for clinical use.

What this trial measures

  • Incidence of Sepsis and Other Major Complications After Burn InjuryDuring hospitalization, up to 12 months after discharge

    Clinical data will be collected from medical records to capture whether patients develop sepsis, organ dysfunction, or other serious complications following burn injury.
