Results. Out of all factors investigated, the variables that showed a significant correlation were: TBSA, inhalation injury, Baux score, revised Baux score, serum albumin, blood urea, serum creatinine, haemoconcentration, base excess, serum lactate, international normalized ratio, and random blood glucose.
