Development and validation of a model for prediction of mortality in patients with acute burn injury Neophytos Stylianou
Background • First thought that mortality must be related to Burn Surface Area (BSA) 1860 • Mortality Prediction Models for Burn Injury exist since 1961 (BSA + Age) • 1982 inhalation injury was incorporated in model (ABSI model) • More than 40 models exist now • In the UK only 3 were developed • Only 3 models used nationwide data world wide
Prediction models • Predict the probability of an outcome for a condition given a specific amount of input data • Various types of models eg. ANN, Logistic regression • A model should be: • Based on objective criteria • Accurate and reliable • Easy to use • Should be dynamic
Why mortality? • Burn lead to premature deaths • Reduction in mortality is good endpoint • Well defined • Good surveillance coverage • Easily measured • Change is easily detected • Other outcomes: • LOS • Functional status • Quality of Life
Why do we need them? • Mortality in burn injuries has dropped significantly in the last decades • They can aid in clinical decision making • Quality control/performance indicator • Burn management is one of the most expensive conditions to treat • Resource allocation
The paper • BOBI model • Refined Ryan model: TBSA, Age, Inhalation injury • Belgian nation wide data from 1999-2004, 6227 patients • 1999-2003 data was used to derive the model 5246 patients • Validation:2004 data of 981 patients • AUC:0.94 (CI: 0.90-0.97) • Calibration:0.452 not on the published model
Limitations • Wide categorisation of BSA • Does not compare with continuous variables • Derivation of scoring system • Arbitrary scale-up/down of predicted probabilities • H-L test based on continuous model and not categorised • No logistic regression formula published
BOBI applied on England and Wales data • Data from iBID 2003-2011 • Since no logistic equation the model published it had to be recreated
BOBI applied on England and Wales data • AUC:0.96 (CI 0.95-0.96) • H-L(4) 4.88 P>x2 0.300
Comparison to our model • Our model: Age+Age2+TBSA(categorised in 10%)+inhalation injury + number of existing disorders + type of burn injury • AUC 0.971 (CI 0.965-0.977) • HL(10) 7.02 P>x2 0.7235 • Comparing the two gave a x2 (1) of 31.4 thus the models are different
