The present investigation was undertaken to compare the accuracy with which two clinical rules of thumb and an empirically derived quantitative index of burn severity classify burn victims into categories of risk to survival. all three assessment protocols correctly classified the majority of the survivors. However, the quantitative index of burn severity, the Abbreviated Burn Severity Index, was superior to the Baux and the modified Baux clinical rules of thumb in predicting fatalities. It was concluded that the Abbreviated Burn Severity Index was nearly as easy to use as the clinical rules of thumb, yet more accurate and specific in describing outcomes for the victims of a burn injury.
本研究旨在比较两种临床经验法则和一个根据经验得出的烧伤严重程度定量指标将烧伤患者分类为生存风险类别的准确性。所有三种评估方案都正确地将大多数幸存者进行了分类。然而，烧伤严重程度定量指标，即简化烧伤严重程度指数，在预测死亡方面优于博克斯法则和改良博克斯临床经验法则。得出的结论是，简化烧伤严重程度指数几乎与临床经验法则一样易于使用，但在描述烧伤患者的预后方面更准确、更具特异性。
