摘要：

From the years 1991 to 2000, basic data from patients admitted to the intensive care unit of burn centres in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, participating in the German Speaking Association for Burn Treatment, were collected prospectively. Starting in 1991 with 7 hospitals and 618 patients included in the study; in the year 2000, 19 hospitals representing nearly 1500 patients submitted their data. Over a period of 10 years, a total number of 10,259 patients could be included in the study. The majority of patients were adult, the male/female ratio was 70/30. Most of the patients suffered from household accidents, only 25% were occupational accidents. Medium total burn surface area (TBSA) and Abbreviated Burn Severity Index (ABSI) score were quite similar in the participating hospitals, while the medium length of stay in the ICU ranged from 6 to 24 days. The overall mortality was 17.5% and showed no decrease over the period of time. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd and ISBI. All rights reserved.
