Which burn score best predicts who will survive?
NCT ID NCT07689890
First seen Jul 08, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks back at medical records of over 1,000 people hospitalized for burns to see which of three scoring systems—ABSI, Revised Baux, or Modified Ryan—best predicts whether a patient will survive. The goal is to find the most accurate tool for doctors to use when making treatment decisions. No new treatments are being tested; the study simply compares existing methods.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors better identify which burn patients are at highest risk of dying, leading to more targeted care.
- What could go wrong
- This is a retrospective study, so it can show links but not prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to other hospitals or regions.
