Evaluating MMPs in Burns

March 23, 2021 updated by: University of Florida

Evaluating a Point-of-Care, Quantitative Matrix Metalloproteinase Assay as a Predictor of Successful Graft Take in Patients Undergoing Cutaneous Auto Grafting for Acute Burn Injury- A Pilot Study

The objective of this study is to determine whether our chemical assay can be used to reliably predict graft take or failure in patients undergoing autologous skin grafting for treatment of acute burn injury.

Detailed Description

This is an observational pilot study of patients treated at UF Health Shands Burn Center adult service. This is a study to determine the predictive value of quantifying concentrations of specific MMPs. Coupling this with a specialized collection sample collection system and a calibrated fluorimetry allows for the rapid assessment of MMP concentrations. This assay has been validated as a predictor of failed wound healing in a published clinical study involving chronic open wounds.

  • Patients not expected to survive
  • Patients presenting with re-injury to previously burned and treated areas.
  • Patients who present after receiving burn excision surgery out an outside facility for the current acute injury

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Patients admitted to the burn center
Patients admitted to the Burn Service with acute burn injuries requiring at least one surgical excision and grafting operation.
Procedure: Graft
Autogenous skin grafting is the only definitive treatment for the full thickness burn injuries, and thus represents the centerpiece of modern burn care.
