Frailty as a sequela of burn injury: a post hoc analysis of the "RE-ENERGIZE" multicenter randomized-controlled trial and the National Health Interview Survey
“In a groundbreaking study, researchers investigated the short-term prevalence of frailty among burn survivors and compared it with the general population. The findings suggest a higher incidence of post-discharge frailty among burn survivors, highlighting the need for early identification and a multidisciplinary approach to address this issue.”
