Prehospital and emergency data analysis in burn patients: Mortality predictors and response times over five years.
Article in Ulusal travma ve acil cerrahi dergisi = Turkish journal of trauma & emergency surgery : TJTES, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThis study aimed to retrospectively examine the prehospital and emergency department processes of burn cases to evaluate process effectiveness, establish regional data, and identify factors affecting mortality in burn patients.
methodsThe study included 784 burn cases treated by Ankara 112 Emergency Health Services and transferred to Ankara Bilkent City Hospital Emergency Department between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2023. Demographic data, burn characteristics, response times of 112 emergency health services, and patient outcomes were retrospectively analyzed.
resultsThe mean age of the patients included in the study was 23.4+-20.7 years, with 36.7% being female. The most common type of burn was hot liquid burns (49.9%) and 73.7% of cases involved second-degree burns. The overall mortality rate was 5%. Logistic regression analysis identified advanced age (odds ratio [OR]: 1.02), presence of inhalation burns (OR: 3.33), and burn percentage as independent risk factors for mortality. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis showed that age >44 years (38.5% sensitivity, 83.8% specificity) and burn surface >16% (89.7% sensitivity, 77.5% specificity) were predictive thresholds for mortality.
conclusionAdvanced age, extensive burn surface area, residence in rural areas, and inhalation injuries are key predictors of mortality in burn patients. Enhancing prehospital emergency services, implementing community education programs, and adopting a multidisciplinary approach are critical for preventing and effectively managing burn injuries.
