Severe burn injury: Body Mass Index and the Baux score
Abstract Objective: The revised Baux score (age total body surface area (TBSA) burned and
inhalation injury)) is predictive of mortality in burn patients. Our study objective was to
assess whether the addition of body mass index (BMI) to the revised Baux score would be of
value. We posited that increasing BMI follows a pattern similar to age and TBSA in the
revised Baux score after severe burn injury. Methods: Patient data from the burn registry was
queried for patients admitted between 1/1/2013 to 8/31/2019. Patients 12 years or older with …
