Abstract

The third edition of the Guidelines for the Management of Burns is a fully revised set of guidelines developed by the Wound/Pressure Ulcer/Burn Guidelines Committee of the Japanese Dermatological Association. The guidelines were developed in a systematic and transparent manner using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. For three clinical questions examined through meta-analyses-systemic antibiotic prophylaxis, dressing materials, and trafermin-weak recommendations were received for the treatment of burns. The guidelines also provide general information on burn severity assessment, systemic management, infection control, and topical treatment.
