Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate risk factors and the role of Acinetobacter isolates in mortality due to burns since morbidity and mortality rates are considerably high. A total of four hundred and sixty-five patients hospitalized in our Burn Care Unit between January 2009 and May 2011 were reviewed retrospectively. Logistic regression analysis was used in order to predict the risk. Mortality rates were as follows: 7.5% in general, 3.9% for under 17 years of age, 12% for between 18-64 years of age, and 24% for over 65 years of age (p<0.001). As the burnt body surface area increased, higher mortality rates were detected. Despite higher mortality rates, Acinetobacter infections were not found risk factors for mortality.
