Abstract

This study investigated changes and prognostic value of serum Triglyceride (TG) level in adult burn patients.
The results showed that an increased TG proportion (≥ 2mmol/l) and serum TG concentration gradually increased to the highest level on the 14th-day after burn (52.5%; 2.5 ± 0.2mmol/l; p < 0.05). Besides, TG concentration was significantly higher in patients with deep burn area > 20% total body surface area on the 7th and 14th-day after burn, in patients with complications and non-survivor. There was a strong positive relationship between serum TG level and death on the 14th day (r = 0.64) and 21st day (r = 0.63) after burns. Moreover, patients with increased serum TG had a significantly higher risk for death (7.6 folds) as compared to remain a group.
