Clinical Outcomes and Factors Associated With Length of Stay Among Burn Patients With Pre-Existing Neurological Disorders: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Health science reports, 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
Background: Burn injuries can lead to significant systemic complications. Patients with pre-existing neurological disorders may present additional clinical complexity during burn management; however, outcomes and associated factors in this subgroup are not well described. Objective: To describe clinical outcomes and identify factors associated with length of hospital stay among burn patients with pre-existing neurological disorders admitted to a tertiary care center. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 67 burn patients with documented pre-existing neurological disorders identified from hospital records (2022-2024). Data collected included demographics, burn characteristics (total body surface area [TBSA], depth), number of surgical interventions, ICU admission, ventilator use, length of hospital stay, and discharge outcome. Analyses included descriptive statistics, sex-based group comparisons, correlation analysis, and negative binomial regression to assess factors associated with hospital stay (SPSS v26; Results: The mean age was 51.5 ± 21.7 years, and 52.2% of patients were female. Mean TBSA was 15.5% ± 20.5%. Mean length of stay was 3.5 ± 5.2 days (median 1 day). Most patients were discharged with partial recovery (74.6%); mortality was 4.5% (95% CI: 0.9%-12.5%). No significant sex differences were observed in key clinical variables. Length of stay was strongly correlated with the number of surgical interventions ( Conclusion: Among burn patients with pre-existing neurological disorders, a greater surgical burden was strongly associated with prolonged hospitalization. These findings support early identification of neurological comorbidity and coordinated multidisciplinary care to manage resource use and optimize outcomes in this high-risk subgroup. Due to the absence of a comparator group and the retrospective design, causal inferences cannot be drawn.
