Abstract

Aims: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of nutritional interventions in burn patients.
Subjects and methods: A prospective interventional study was conducted on 20 inpatients at the Burn and Reconstructive Plastic Sugery, Hue Central Hospital, from January to May 2025. Nutritional status was assessed upon admission (T0) and at discharge preparation (T1) by evaluating changes in body weight, paraclinical indices, and the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) tool. Data were analyzed using SPSS 20.
Results: Males accounted for 55%, mostly under 45 years old. The primary causes of burns were high-voltage electrical burns and thermal burns, with an average burn area of 13.6 ± 10.5%. The average hospital stay was 20.5 ± 9.0 days. Malnutrition was observed in 15% of patients based on BMI, while 80% were at risk according to SGA. Patients received an average of 6.9 ± 0.7 meals/day, providing 1842.8 ± 138.1 Kcal and 74.1 ± 6.8 g of protein per day. Serum protein levels significantly improved after nutritional intervention (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Nutritional interventions play a crucial role in optimizing burn patient treatment, improving nutritional status, enhancing treatment outcomes, and ultimately contributing to better quality of life.
