Predictors of Mortality in Work-related Burn Injures: A Multivariate Analysis.
Article in Annals of burns and fire disasters, 2026. 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
This study aims to identify prognostic factors influencing mortality among work-related burn patients in Northern Vietnam. A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 395 work-related burn patients admitted to the Vietnam National Burn Hospital (VNBH) from January 1 to December 31, 2023. Patient data were extracted from the VNBH electronic database, including demographic characteristics, burn severity, first aid interventions, comorbidities, clinical signs, and blood biomarkers. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were applied to determine independent predictors of mortality. The study population comprised 310 men (78.5%) and 85 women (21.5%), with a mean age of 36.7±12.9 years. Most patients were workers (87.9%) and resided in rural areas (52.7%). The predominant causes of burns were flames (46.1%) and electrical injuries (34.4%). The majority of patients (74.4%) sustained full-thickness burns, with 50.4% having a total burn surface area (TBSA) <20%. The overall mortality rate was 12.2%. Univariate analysis identified significant associations between mortality and fluid resuscitation (p=0.01), burn shock (p<0.001), facial burns (p<0.05), inhalation injury (p<0.001), full-thickness burns >20% (p<0.001), and complications (p<0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that incorrect or absent fluid resuscitation (OR=2.3), burn shock (OR=3.7), facial burns (OR=3.5), neuropathy (OR=5.1), respiratory disease (OR=3.3), full-thickness burns (21-49%) (OR=4.2), serum glucose ≥9 mmol/L (OR=3.0), inhalation injury (OR=7.3), and full-thickness burns >50% (OR=6.7) were significant independent predictors of mortality (p<0.05). Work-related burn injuries remain a significant occupational hazard in Northern Vietnam. Factors such as inhalation injury, extensive full-thickness burns, burn shock and hyperglycemia substantially increase mortality risk. Early and appropriate fluid resuscitation, improved first aid measures, and better management of comorbidities are crucial for improving survival rates.
