ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT

Objective:

To examine post-burn bone loss and determine whether it was local or diffuse.

Methods:

Thirty-six patients with burn injuries were investigated, and the total body surface area of the burns and their locations were recorded. The bone mineral densities of the lumbar 1-4 vertebrae, bilateral distal forearm, and bilateral proximal femur of the patients were recorded, and these were compared with the measurements of the non-burnt extremity.

Results:

No statistically significant correlations existed among the total body surface area of the burns, their severity and the z-scores. In addition, when comparing the z-scores of the burnt extremity with those of the non-burnt extremity, no statistically significant difference was found (p > 0.05).

Conclusion:

In this study, a remarkable decrease in bone mass occurred during the second month following the burn injuries. The post-burn bone loss could not be correlated with the severity of the burns, but these injuries caused systemic bone loss.
RESUMEN
RESUMEN

Objetivo:

Examinar la pérdida ósea después de una quemadura y determinar si era local o difusa.

Métodos:

Se investigó a 36 pacientes con lesiones por quemaduras y se registró el área total de la superficie del cuerpo con quemaduras y sus ubicaciones. Las densidades minerales óseas de las vértebras lumbares 1-4, del antebrazo distal bilateral, y del fémur proximal bilateral de los pacientes, fueron registradas y comparadas con las mediciones de la extremidad sin quemaduras.

Resultados:

No existieron correlaciones estadísticamente significativas entre el área total de la superficie corporal de las quemaduras, su severidad y las puntuaciones z. Además, al comparar las puntuaciones z de la extremidad quemada con las de la extremidad no quemada, no se encontró ninguna diferencia estadísticamente significativa (p > 0.05).

Conclusión:

En este estudio, se observó la ocurrencia de una disminución notable de la masa ósea durante el segundo mes tras las lesiones de la quemadura. La pérdida ósea posterior a las quemaduras no se pudo correlacionar con la severidad de las quemaduras, pero estas lesiones por quemadura causaron pérdida sistémica del hueso.
