Predictors of Mortality in Work-related Burn Injures: A Multivariate Analysis.

This study aims to identify prognostic factors influencing mortality among work-related burn patients in Northern Vietnam. A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 395 work-related burn patients admitted to the Vietnam National Burn Hospital (VNBH) from January 1 to December 31, 2023. Patient data were extracted from the VNBH electronic database, including demographic characteristics, burn severity, first aid interventions, comorbidities, clinical signs, and blood biomarkers. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were applied to determine independent predictors of mortality. The study population comprised 310 men (78.5%) and 85 women (21.5%), with a mean age of 36.7±12.9 years. Most patients were workers (87.9%) and resided in rural areas (52.7%). The predominant causes of burns were flames (46.1%) and electrical injuries (34.4%). The majority of patients (74.4%) sustained full-thickness burns, with 50.4% having a total burn surface area (TBSA)
