- W2758967567 abstract "Objective: To validate the FLAME (Fatality by Longevity, APACHE II score and Measured Entent of bum) score for outcome prediction in bum patients. Design: Multi-centre prospective study. Setting: Five Canadian burn centres: Hamilton (ON), St. John (NB). Toronto (ON), Vancouver (BC), and Windsor (ON). Patiene 527 adult bum patients (1997-1998). Outcorne: Hospi ta1 mortality . Resuits: The typical patient was a man (69%) with mean age of 44 years, mean body area bwed of 17%, and mean hospital stay of 19 days. There were 76 deaths (14%). The FLAME score was the simplest logistic mode1 with strong agreement between observed and predicted deaths (ROC area = 0.96). Using 2x2 classification table with 0.5 predicted risk of death, patients were comtly classified 94% of the time. Sensitivity: 68%, specificity: 9856, and positive likeiihad ratio: 34 were found. Conclusion: The FLAME score is a valid mortality predictive twl for bum patients. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS = -A 2 This diesis is dedicated to Dr. Joel S.
