Popis:	Serious infections occurred in 24% of patients. Average LOS for burn patients was 8.2 2.3 days, vs 9.7 0.0 days in the U.S. An inverse relationship was seen between TBSA and LOS in Rwanda, in contrast to ABA data’s direct correlation from 080% TBSA. Burn size associated with 50% case fatality in Rwanda was approximately 45% TBSA, vs 70% in the U.S. Examination of care processes demonstrated lack of guidance on appropriate burn care, including virtual absence of excision/grafting (Table).
