As medicine continues to advance, many individuals are living longer with injuries previously considered life threatening. These individuals often face numerous long-term physical and psychological sequelae associated with their injury that persist through the course of their lives. Recently, other injury populations have begun to think of their condition as "chronic". Using data collected from the Burn Model System National Database, a framework for the reconsideration of burn injury as a chronic condition is proposed.
随着医学的不断进步，许多人因以前被认为危及生命的损伤而能活得更久。这些人经常面临与损伤相关的许多长期的身体和心理后遗症，这些后遗症会伴随他们的一生。最近，其他损伤人群也开始将他们的状况视为“慢性”。利用从烧伤模型系统国家数据库收集的数据，提出了重新将烧伤损伤视为慢性疾病的框架。
