Primary outcome measure was the burn-related injury characteristics.

In the burn centre group, the TBSA burned was significantly higher [4% (P<jats:sub>25<\/jats:sub>\u2013P<jats:sub>75<\/jats:sub> 2\u20136) versus 2% (P<jats:sub>25<\/jats:sub>\u2013P<jats:sub>75<\/jats:sub> 1\u20134); <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001], and more surgical procedures were performed (in 54 versus 7 patients; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.004). At 12\u00a0months,\u2009&gt;\u200985% of the non-burn centre group and\u2009&gt;\u200975% of the burn centre group reported no problems in quality of life. Scar quality score was\u2009&lt;\u20091.5 in both groups, with significantly poorer scores in the burn centre group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009\u2264\u20090.007).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Both groups differed in patient, burn, and treatment characteristics. At 12\u00a0months, quality of life and scar quality were good in both groups. Significantly poorer scar quality scores were found in the burn centre group. This might be related to their larger burns and more frequent surgery. The organization of burn care in the Netherlands seems to work adequately. Patients are treated locally when possible and are transferred when necessary.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00068-023-02233-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,3]],"date-time":"2023-02-03T11:03:24Z","timestamp":1675422204000},"page":"1505-1515","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Burn injury characteristics, referral pattern, treatment (costs), and outcome in burn patients admitted to a hospital with or without a specialized Burn Centre (BURN-Pro)"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"Daan T.","family":"Van Yperen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2597-7948","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Esther M.
