Risk Models to Predict Mortality in Burn Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

7 Additionally, the Abbreviated Burn Severity Index (ABSI) was developed, but breakthroughs in intensive care and treatment have led to a decreasing trend in mortality due to severe burns, and studies have shown ABSI to be inadequate in predicting the likelihood of survival for severely burned individuals. 8 – 10 With recent advances, more novel and complex methods were developed such as Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) score II; Fatality by Longevity, APACHE II score, Measured Extent of burn, and Sex (FLAMES) score; Burns Evaluation and Mortality Study (BEAMS); and Prognostic Burns Index 11 but a comparison of these novel risk models has not been conducted.
