Burn Injuries During COVID-19 Pandemic and Its Influence on Length of Stay
- Conditions
- SARS-CoV-2 Infection
- Interventions
- Procedure: Burn Injuries Graft Surgery
- Registration Number
- NCT06330389
- Lead Sponsor
- Hamad Medical Corporation
- Brief Summary
Burn injuries were thought to be difficult to treat during the new corona virus epidemic. Our goal is to determine the risk factors that influence length of hospital stay (LOS) of burn injured patients during COVID -19 pandemic.
- Detailed Description
1. Introduction / History
The world is being attacked by the rapidly expanding severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-Cov-2) epidemic, which is exacerbating an economic crisis. SARS-Cov-2 is the cause of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Anaesthetists are at risk for contracting a virus while doing their regular duties because they frequently come into touch with respiratory droplets.
All nations have put protective and preventive measures in place, forcing people to spend more time at home. A Brazilian study discovered that during the COVID-19 pandemic period, spending more time at home increased exposure to sanitizing products, which include ethanol and hydrogen peroxides that can cause burn injuries.
Aim of our Study:
Our goal is to determine the risk factors that influence length of hospital stay (LOS) of burn injured patients during COVID -19 pandemic.
Inclusion Criteria:
Patients who had the burn graft surgery at Al Wakrah Hospital; Hamad Medical Corporation between from 1st of April to end of November 2020. Planned number will include all COVID-19 positive and negative subjects in this period.
Data Source The electronic medical record (Cerner) used in order to identify patients who match study defined criteria. The investigators can Collect data directly from Cerner to excel sheet
Variable Abstraction Patient demographic and clinical data will be collected including age, morbidities, presenting symptoms, physical examination, laboratory investigations, intraoperative data, type of surgery, postoperative course, survival, and length of hospital stay and follow up.
In addition, the type of anesthesia is also included as factor for further complications ex general anesthesia, spinal or combined spinal epidural type.
Observation full reviewing of their medical illness and chart laboratory and investigations will be collected after getting approval of MRC and IRB committee.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Our goal is to determine the risk factors that influence length of hospital stay (LOS) of burn injured patients during COVID -19 pandemic. 60-90 days Our goal is to determine the risk factors that influence length of hospital stay (LOS) of burn injured patients during COVID -19 pandemic.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Clinical diffreneces between burn injuries with positive vs negative COVID-19 status 60-90 days Details for those risk Factors: BMI; Pre Op Lab data, Intra Op data ex. blood loss / ml, transfusions/ ml or Unit , surgery time/ min, etc, Post operative data and ICU admission data, , lab parameters, INR,LFTs/unit , required blood transfusions/ml or Unit , re intubation times, vasopressor needs. Analyze lab values /unit, check number of days in hospital stay and ICU stay .
Analyze risk factors which affect hospital length of stay. Analyze risk factors using cox regression and investigate hazard ratio for each one to determine which is independent risk factor OR associated factor.
