abstract: 'Postburn contracture is a source of significant morbidity in India, even
though its occurrence can be reduced significantly by comprehensive
postburn injury care, including surgical intervention. This study
investigates whether limited access to initial medical care after burn
injury has been associated with increased contracture formation among
lower socioeconomic class patients in Mumbai, India. During a surgical
mission in Mumbai, India, patients presenting with functionally
debilitating burn contractures and minimal income were surveyed for
initial care received immediately after burn injury. The survey
consisted of questions regarding the history of burn injury and details
of any initial treatment. Demographic data were collected by chart
review. Thirty-eight patients from the state of Maharashtra participated
in the study (mean age 28.1 years). The most common etiology of burn
injury was from kerosene stove blasts (74\%), and the most common
morbidities were contractures of the neck and upper extremity. On
average, time elapsed since the original injury was 2.8 years. Nearly
all patients sought initial medical care at hospitals (97\%) with the
majority receiving only dressing changes for their full-thickness or
deep-dermal burns (61\%). The most common reason for not seeking out
delayed burn reconstruction was perceived cost (65\%). Ultimately, 60
operations were performed, of which 9 (15\%) developed postsurgical
complications. These data suggest that a subset of lower socioeconomic
class burn patients in Maharashtra received suboptimal initial
intervention. Comprehensive initial therapy after burn injury may
provide better outcomes and limit the number of patients requiring
delayed reconstruction. (J Burn Care Res 2012;33:e120-e126)'
