The population of overweight patients presenting to burn facilities is expected to increase significantly over the next decades due to the global epidemic of obesity. Excess adiposity mediates alterations to key physiological responses and poses challenges to the optimal management of burns. The purpose of this study is to document the general epidemiological aspects of thermal injuries in the obese population, outline relevant physiological aspects associated with obesity, and draw attention to topics relating to the management, rehabilitation, and prognosis of burns in this emerging subpopulation of patients.
由于全球肥胖流行，预计在未来几十年中，前往烧伤治疗机构的超重患者数量将显著增加。过多的脂肪会介导关键生理反应的改变，并给烧伤的最佳治疗带来挑战。本研究的目的是记录肥胖人群热损伤的一般流行病学特征，概述与肥胖相关的相关生理特征，并提请关注这一新兴患者亚群中烧伤的管理、康复和预后相关的话题。
