Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Decrease Hypermetabolism as Measured by Stable Isotope Infusion Study

    At the request of the study site, this study has been closed. Access to study-related data is unavailable, and the PI is no longer at the institution. Hence, we are unable to submit the results data. Although peer-reviewed articles have been located that reference NCT00673309, it is not clear and verifiable (without access to the actual study-related data) what the results for the study outcomes are.

    Admission to burn unit to 95% wound healing

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Improved Rate of Wound Healing

    Admission to burn unit to 95% wound healing

  • Incidence of Morbidity and Mortality

    Admission to burn unit to discharge

  • Incidence of Sepsis
