Summary

This trial tests whether a culturally adapted program of case manager support can improve survival, reduce hospital readmissions, and boost quality of life for adults recovering from accidental burn injuries in Pakistan. Participants receive up to eight sessions with a case manager, both in the hospital and after discharge, compared with usual care plus written self-help advice. The study follows over a thousand participants for a year to see if this integrated support makes a meaningful difference in physical and psychological recovery.
