Red Cell Distribution Width/Albumin Ratio as a Predictive Tool for Mortality of Patients With Burn Injuries

NCT07761845 | Recruiting

• 1 other identifier: FMASU MD361/2025
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 30
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the prognostic utility of the red cell distribution width/albumin ratio (RAR), measured within 24 hours of hospital admission, in predicting 30-day mortality among patients with burn injuries.

Conditions

Mortality Prediction of Patients With Burn Injuries

Keywords

burn; mortality; albumin; Red Cell Distribution Width

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• mortality in burn patients

  To determine the correlation between Red Cell Distribution Width/Albumin on admission and 30 days hospital mortality in burn patients.

  30 days

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• ICU length of stay

  30 days

• R-Baux score as a predictor of mortality in burn patient.

  30 days

• Requirements of inotropes or vasopressors

  30 days

• Duration of mechanical ventilation

  30 days

Study Arms (1)

• Patients with burn injuries (%TBSA >20%)

each patient will be followed for 30 days for mortality prediction

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

Study Population

Patients presenting with acute thermal injuries will be screened based on inclusion/exclusion criteria. After consent, Patients' characteristics (age, sex, weight), clinical parameters (Total burn surface area, Abbreviated burn severity index), and comorbidities will be recorded.

You may qualify if:

• Age \> 18 years.
• Both sexes.
• Patients with burn injuries (%TBSA \>20%).
• Availability of complete laboratory data (RDW, albumin)on admission .
• Admission to ICU within 24 hours of burn injury.

You may not qualify if:

• Age \<18 years old.
• Patients with chronic hematologic disease.
• Pre-existing liver disease.
• Nephrotic syndrome, chemotherapy.
• Patients with incomplete or missing lab records.
• Pregnant females.
