Burn survivors from these communities may be especially vulnerable to respiratory complications of burn injury and inhalation injuries. In this retrospective national longitudinal cohort study of adult burn survivors (2015 and 2021), the association of 3-year pre-burn PM2.5 exposure, estimated from home census-tract code from the National Environmental Public Health Tracking Network of the Center for Disease Control (CDC), and clinical outcomes extracted from the Burn Model System (mortality, ventilator days, tracheostomy, hospital length of stay (LOS), and patient-reported outcomes from Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Global Health and employment status at 6 and 12\u00a0months) were assessed via mixed-effects regression models adjusting for age, sex, race\/ethnicity, total body surface area, and inhalation injury (IH). Among 582 adult burn survivors (mean age of 46.2\u00a0years), unadjusted models found that higher PM2.5 exposure was associated with longer LOS, worse Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Global Health scores (pooled 6 and 12 months), and a decreased likelihood of employment at follow-up (pooled 6 and 12 months). These associations were attenuated after adjustment; though PM2.5 exposure was associated with IH, which was strongly associated with prolonged ventilation, tracheostomy, lower Global Health scores, and lower employment at follow-up. Higher PM2.5 exposure was associated with a greater likelihood of IH, which was associated with poorer outcomes, suggesting that residential PM2.5 exposure, or factors that co-vary with it, may identify patients at greater risk for IH and poorer recovery after burn injury.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jbcr\/irag120","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,18]],"date-time":"2026-07-18T11:38:52Z","timestamp":1784374732000},"page":"1639-1645","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Residential
