Özet
BACKGROUND: 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. METHODS: 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. RESULTS: 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). CONCLUSION: 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.
