Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System domains included pain intensity, pruritus, physical function, anxiety, depression, and fatigue. General linear models were fitted at the 12-month follow-up to evaluate independent associations between pain and pruritus scores and demographic, functional, and psychosocial variables.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study included 67 pediatric burn survivors with a mean age of 11.8\u2009\u00b1\u20092.9\u00a0years. In multivariate regression models at 12\u00a0months post-injury, demographic and burn characteristics were not significant predictors of pain or pruritus. Both higher pain and itch were significantly associated with greater anxiety (P\u2009=\u2009.0109; P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.0001), depression (P\u2009=\u2009.0021; P\u2009=\u2009.0006), and fatigue (P\u2009=\u2009.0053; P\u2009=\u2009.0096); higher itch was additionally associated with worse physical function (P\u2009=\u2009.0396).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This review shows that even 1 year after injury, pain and pruritus remain strongly associated with psychosocial distress, with pruritus additionally linked to impaired physical function.
