The mean affected total body surface area was 26.4%. Ninety patients (88%) suffered from flame\/scald burn. The mortality rate was 17.6% (18 patients); all these patients had flame burns.

Inhalational injuries were reported in 18 patients, of which 13 (72%) died. Patients with patent airway and no inhalation injury were 19 times more likely to survive than those with a compromised airway (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001).
