Abstract

Many burn centers care for patients with skin and soft tissue injury that is not related to burn. For example, skin sloughing exanthems (such as SJS/TEN) and soft tissue pathologies (soft tissue infections, traumatic soft tissue loss) are often referred to a burn center for the expertise in resuscitation and cutaneous care needed by this patient population. In this study, we examine our center’s experience with non-burns in the burn unit, with particular attention to the differences in reimbursement and length of stay when compared with burn patients.
