Pain in critically ill adults with burns should be assessed using structured pain behavioural observation measures. This study tested the clinimetric qualities and usability of the behaviour pain scale (BPS) and the critical-care pain observation too...

The European Burns Association (EBA), as the proud owner of the European Burn Journal (EBJ), is committed to fostering collaboration and maximizing the impact of our common goals, i [...]

Burns are common and devastating injuries, often necessitating intensive care treatment and long-term hospitalisation, making burn patients susceptible to hospital-acquired anaemia and blood transfusion. The purpose of this study was to assess diagno...

Acute coronary thrombosis is a known, but rare, contributor to morbidity and mortality in patients with thermal and electrical injuries. The overall incidence of myocardial infarction among burn patients is 1%, with an in-hospital post-infarction mor...

Congratulations to the editorial team of the European Burn Journal for having the vision to host a Special Issue on the theme of “Person-Centred and Family-Centred Care Following Burn Injuries” [...]

To define the morphologic pattern of pediatric hand burns as visualized via optical coherence tomography (OCT) and dynamic OCT (D-OCT). We designed a scoring system to assess the depths of burn wounds on pediatric hands and tested this score in our c...

Our study aimed to provide a description of the early childhood development of pediatric burn patients relative to Dutch reference values, using both pre- and post-burn data from the Dutch Development Instrument and the D-score. Data from the Dutch D...

Burns are inevitable in modern warfare and have comprised between 5% and 20% of battlefield injuries. Involvement of the hands is the leading cause of postburn functional impairment. The purpose of this paper is to provide guidance on aspects of care...

Voice plays a prominent role in verbal communication and social interactions. Acute burn care often includes intubation, mechanical ventilation, and tracheostomy, which could potentially impact voice quality. However, the issue of long-term dysphonia...

The study investigated the impact of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on burn-induced coagulopathy in severely burned patients. Patients with a greater than 20% TBSA were identified in the TriNetX research network and categorized into re...

A growing interest in person-centered care from a biopsychosocial perspective has led to increased attention to structural screening. The aim of this study was to develop an easy-to-comprehend screening instrument using single items to identify a bro...

Parents’ emotions after their child’s burn might be influenced by the injury circumstances or demographic characteristics of the patient and family. Parents’ post-traumatic stress symptoms and their child’s distress may intera...

As mortality relating to severe acute burn injury improves, patients are surviving longer into the critical care phase, which is commonly complicated by multisystem organ failure. Extracorporeal organ support (ECOS) represents a set of potential ther...
