Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Burn Scar Comparison	2 years post burn injury	Burn scar is measured scar using the Vancouver Scar Scale (range 0-12) for each of the various skin substitutes used in grafting. Vancouver Scar Scale measure burn scarring assessing categories of redness/vascularity, hardness, pigmentation and scar height. Each item has a scale of 0-3. Score for each category is summed together for a total score between 0-12. The total score is generally used in the burn community, therefore the total score will be reported. Lower scores are better; higher scores are worse.
