dc.description.abstractThe aim of the current study was to evaluate the severity and location of flame burns and the mortality rate of civilians affected by these in the Syrian Civil War and to present the surgical treatment outcomes of the injured civilians to be able to provide recommendations. This was a prospective hospital-based observational cohort study involving 573 patients with data collected from 2011 to 2018. All of these patients were Syrian civilians, and their flame burn injuries were related to the Syrian conflict. All burns were divided into four subgroups according to TBSA and compared. The groups of TBSA were compared as 0 to 25% (n = 97), 25 to 50% (n = 257), 50 to 75% (n = 135), and >75% (n = 84) (P =.413). Almost all had a second (n = 331; 57.7%) and third (n = 189; 32.9%) degree deep burns. The median burn size was 47% TBSA in the patients. The burn mechanism was mostly the flame type of burn (n = 467; 81.5%) as a result of fuel oil explosions, followed by bomb-related burns (n = 106; 18.5%) (P <.001). Mortality was seen in 223 (39%) due to the high surface area and reaching hospital too late at 1 to 8 days (P =.187). The findings of this study indicate that war-related flame burns result in an extremely high mortality rate and time is lost, which could protect against life-threatening outcomes.en_US
