Data were obtained from medical records. The primary outcome was VAP incidence in patients with or without inhalation injury. Secondary outcomes included need and duration of mechanical ventilation (MV), incidence of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), rates of reintubation and tracheostomy, need for vasopressors and renal replacement therapy (RRT), length of ICU and hospital stay, hospital mortality, and comparison between survivors and non-survivors.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n From January 2017 to December 2023, 242 patients with a median burn surface area of 23% (15%-37%) were included. The incidence of inhalation injury was 9.9% (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 24). The overall incidence of VAP was 23%. VAP incidence was significantly higher in patients with inhalation injury than in those without inhalation injury (RR 2.1, CI 1.9\u20133.8) (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.012). After adjustment for age, burn surface area, and duration of MV, the RR remained significant (2.1, CI 1.2\u20133.7) (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.009). Patients with inhalation injury had higher rates of reintubation (12.5% vs.\u00a02.8%,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.048) and tracheostomy (54.2% vs.\u00a021.6%,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.001). The incidence of inhalation injury was similar in survivors and non-survivors (11.2% vs.\u00a05.6%,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.305), but non-survivors had a higher burn surface area than survivors (40% vs.\u00a020%,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.01).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n The incidence of VAP was higher in patients with inhalation injury than in those without inhalation injury; however, the mortality was similar.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.29390\/001c.159978","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,2]],"date-time":"2026-04-02T17:01:59Z","timestamp":1775149319000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Association of inhalation injury with ventilator-associated pneumonia and clinical outcomes in critically ill patients with burns: A retrospective study"],"prefix":"10.29390","volume":"62","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4165-9544","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tatiana C","family":"Normann","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/041yk2d64","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul","department":["Programa de P\u00f3s-Gradua\u00e7\u00e3o em Ci\u00eancias Pneumol\u00f3gicas"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5802-9138","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Priscila","family":"Bellaver","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/041yk2d64","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul","department":["Programa de p\u00f3s-gradua\u00e7\u00e3o em Ci\u00eancias M\u00e9dicas Endocrinologia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-1278-2490","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bianca I","family":"Limeira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital de Pronto Socorro de Porto Alegre","department":["Burn Unit"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-6866-4908","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabrielle B","family":"Dorneles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital de Pronto Socorro de Porto Alegre","department":["Burn Unit"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5225-1050","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mariane S","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital de Pronto Socorro de Porto Alegre","department":["Burn Unit"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9582-2821","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Tatiana H","family":"Rech","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/041yk2d64","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul","department":["Department of Internal Medicine"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"11956","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"31","DOI":"10.1186\/1757-7241-21-31","article-title":"Inhalation injury: epidemiology, pathology, treatment strategies","volume":"21","author":"D.
