Accepts healthy volunteers: no
Observational model: COHORT
Time perspective: PROSPECTIVE
Sampling method: NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE
Study population: Primary diagnosis of acute burn injury

Brief summary: This project will develop a descriptive database of patient information and patient outcomes. This database will be used to determine the association of time spent in rehabilitation and patient outcomes, to relate patient acuity to burn scar contracture development and to establish minimal time requirement guidelines for various rehabilitation patient outcomes.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* 18 year of age or older

* \>2% deep partial thickness burn OR hand burn (which may be less than 2% deep partial thickness burn)

Exclusion Criteria:

* Non-survivable burn as determined by the attending burn surgeon
* Electrical burn injury

Primary outcomes:
measure: Measure patient outcome in terms of time devoted to rehabilitation
timeFrame: At discharge
