Survival and Associated Risk Factors in Mechanically Ventilated Burn Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Objectives: This study aimed to determine the survival rate and identify associated risk factors in mechanically ventilated (MV) burn patients. Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted at Velayat Hospital, a burn and plastic surgery referral center affiliated with Guilan University of Medical Sciences, between March 2011, and September 2020. Data were retrieved from electronic medical records and analyzed using SPSS software (version 24.0). Patients discharged alive or lost to follow-up were treated as censored observations in a time-to-event analysis. Results: =0.028), with a higher survival probability observed in non-MV patients. Conclusion: Age, length of stay, renal failure, ARDS, and sepsis were associated with increased mortality risk in MV burn patients. While these findings highlighted critical prognostic factors, causal inferences require further investigation through longitudinal or interventional studies to guide targeted therapeutic strategies.
