Recent improvements in the mortality rates of burned patients are attributed to the expansion of specialized burn centers. Satellite treatment areas with trained personnel need to be developed, located away from the burn center, and efforts should be made to increase the number of patient programs at existing burn centers. In addition, studies need to be conducted on cost consequences, hypertrophic scarring, peripheral and central nervous system involvement, musculoskeletal changes, sleep deprivation, and the comparison of various treatment techniques to determine what protocols provide the best treatment outcome.
烧伤患者死亡率的近期改善归因于专业烧伤中心的扩张。需要建立配备训练有素人员的卫星治疗区域，其位置应远离烧伤中心，并且应努力增加现有烧伤中心的患者治疗项目数量。此外，需要对成本后果、肥厚性瘢痕形成、外周和中枢神经系统受累、肌肉骨骼变化、睡眠剥夺以及各种治疗技术的比较进行研究，以确定哪些方案能提供最佳治疗效果。
