The relationship between initial Vitamin D serum level with hospitaliation duration and hospital outcome in burn patients at sina hospital

Abstract

Burns are one of the most important causes of injury that affect various aspects of the lives of sufferers and cause functional, social and psychological disabilities. Vitamin D is one of the vitamins needed by the body and is a fat-soluble vitamin that helps bones grow and strengthen by controlling the balance of calcium and phosphorus. Lack of this vitamin weakens the immune system and can lead to cancer, diabetes and even infection. Materials and Methods: This prospective descriptive analytical study was performed on burn patients admitted to Sina Hospital in Tabriz. Upon admission of patients, demographic information including age, sex, examination results of patients, type, location, percentage, severity of burns and place of residence were collected and Simultaneously with sending the blood sample to the laboratory, a blood sample was sent to the Sina Hospital laboratory to measure serum levels of vitamin D. Results: In this study, 205 patients were studied. In this study, 43.2% of the patients were female and 56.8% were male patients. In this study, 7.3% of patients died and the rest improved. The length of hospital stay averaged 9.50±6.54 days. Vitamin D levels averaged 15.35 ± 3.86. The amount of vitamin D and the length of hospital stay in the ICU and the severity of burns and the average length of hospital stay were significantly related.
