A retrospective study was performed at St Andrew’s Centre for Burns and Plastic Surgery to determine whether the development of major trauma systems have improved the management of patients with major burns by reviewing all major burns in adults and children received at a regional burns centre in the UK over a four-year period before and after the implementation of the regional trauma systems and major trauma centres (MTC). The International Burn Injury Database (IBID) and MetaVision were used for data collection. The authors found that there was no significant difference in survival when comparing referrals from all hospitals pre and post establishment of the major trauma network and suggest that further research is needed to ascertain whether burns patients benefit from prolonged transfer times to a MTC compared to those seen at their local hospitals prior to transfer to a regional burns unit for further specialist care.
