Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the incidence, characteristics and influence of viral hepatitis on outcomes of burn patients.
Subjects and methods: This retrospective study was conducted on 15.301 burn patients admitted to the National burn hospital for 5 years (2016 - 2020). Patients were divided into two groups: The viral hepatitis group and the non-hepatitis, comparing the two groups in demographic, manifestation and outcome.
Results: The incidence of viral hepatitis accounted for 3.54%, mainly among adults, self-employed and men. There was no difference between the two groups in terms of complications and length of stay in the hospital. However, compared with the non-hepatitis group, the patient group with virus hepatitis had a significantly higher incidence of mortality (5.9% vs. 3.12%, p = 0.000).
In addition, the results of multivariate analysis showed that the Hepatitis C virus was independently associated with mortality in burn patients of the same age, sex, burn extent, deep burn area and inhalation injury.
Conclusion: Hepatitis C virus was independently associated with mortality in burn patients. Prospective studies on the reactivation of latent viruses and the effects of hepatitis virus infection in burn patients were needed.
