Summary

Clinical assessment of burn depth and area can be challenging even for experienced surgeons. Still, the assessment is fundamental for the treatment, as it determines the fluid treatment and indication for escharotomy and need for referral to a burn centre.There are few studies comparing the initial evaluation of burn depth and surface with that of a specialist burn centre. The aim of this study was to make such a comparison for a cohort of patients admitted to a specialist burn centre during one year.The cohort was defined as patients transferred to the burn unit at Haukeland university hospital during 2014.
