Clinically, we have been able to minimize this weight loss in most patients admitted to our burn center but have identified unexpected weight loss in some. The goal of this analysis was to identify predictors of this weight loss. This retrospective descriptive study included adult patients with at least 20% total body surface area (TBSA) burns admitted between September 2017 and February 2023. There were 63 patients who met the criteria for this study: median of 35% TBSA burn (IQR: 27-51), 44 years old (IQR: 31-55), and 21% women. These patients experienced a median weight loss of 3\u00a0kg (IQR: 1-8) over 31 days (IQR: 22-50). Most (78%) patients experienced \u226410% weight loss, whereas 2% sustained &amp;gt;20% weight loss. The final factors significant in the multivariate analysis evaluating weight loss included days from injury to lowest weight, average white blood cells (WBC) \u00d7 days, and caloric deficit (P &amp;lt; .01). The resulting equation is: weight loss (in kg) = 1.1 + 0.0121 \u00d7 average WBC in 103\/uL \u00d7 days + 0.0001 \u00d7 caloric deficit\u20140.1432 \u00d7 days from injury to lowest weight (R2 = 0.54). This indicates a further increase in metabolism above the expected hypermetabolic response when there is an elevation in WBC, likely reflecting concurrent sepsis or other processes driving systemic inflammation. Further research should focus on frequent metabolic cart study measurements in patients with elevated WBC counts to further elucidate this relationship.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jbcr\/iraf061","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,29]],"date-time":"2025-04-29T07:56:56Z","timestamp":1745913416000},"page":"970-974","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Hypermetabolism
