Burn Outcomes in Young Adult Burn Survivors (YA)

Burn Outcomes in Young Adult Burn Survivors- A Multicenter Outcomes Study

As part of Clinical Trials.Gov ID:NCT00253292 a psychometrically sound outcomes instrument was developed to study the outcomes of burn survivors in the 19-30 year old age group. This workgroup has come together to re-examine the data collected during the previous study and determine next steps in understanding the recovery for this population.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Burns; Trauma
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: Questionnaire self report

Detailed Description

This study looks to understand previously collected outcomes scores. Identifying young adult burned patients at risk for poor outcomes remains an under-published field of study. We strive to identify problem areas for this population before they adversely effect their quality of life. How are these 19-30 year olds different from their non-burned counterparts and what interventions can we provide to equalize the balance?
