Abstract

The chances of survival after a major burn injury have constantly increased over the past decades and further decreases in mortality rates seem to be out of reach [1]. Recent data shows that 96.8% of all patients treated in a US burn center survive [2]. However, many survivors suffer from disfiguring scarring, life-long physical disabilities, and adjustment difficulties. Focus has shifted more and more attempts to improve long-term outcomes with recent advances in discovering underlying mechanisms, treatment of scars, and early rehabilitation.
