Abstrakt:	Background: Clinical diagnosis of sepsis is challenging, emphasizing the importance of regular bacterial surveillance, and tailored antimicrobial therapy. This study aims to elucidate the predictors of sepsis in critically ill burn patients. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients admitted to the burn intensive care unit between 2016 and 2022. Demographics, type of burn, total body surface area (TBSA), presence of inhalation injury, mortality, sepsis, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, pneumonia, cultures, and laboratory findings were collected. Descriptive statistics and survival analysis were used to analyze trends during the 7-year period. Results: The study encompassed 196 participants. Among patient factors, men constituted 73.4% (n = 102) of those without sepsis and 86.0% (n = 49) with sepsis, with an association between sepsis and lower age (34 versus 41 years) as well as larger TBSA (41.1% versus 17.3%). Inhalation injury was a significant predictor of sepsis [35.1% (n = 20) versus 11.6% (n = 16)]. Mortality was higher in sepsis cases [17.5% (n = 10) versus 2.9% (n = 4)], as well as positive blood cultures [47.4% (n = 27) versus 2.2% (n = 3)], positive wound cultures [71.9% (n = 41) versus 12.2% (n = 17)], and positive fungal cultures [12.3% (n = 7) versus 0% (n = 0)]. Multivariable analysis identified age and TBSA as significant predictors of sepsis ( P = 0.025, P < 0.001). Conclusions: Age, TBSA affected emerge as a strong risk factor for sepsis among critically ill burn patients. It underscores the need for vigilant monitoring to improve outcomes and reduce sepsis-related mortality.
