The aim of this study was to compare the outcome of Xenoderm (biologic dressing) and `conventional` treatments (Silver sulfadiazine) in pediatrics` burns in our burn center, which is the only burn center in Zanjan province. In this non-randomized clinical trial, 86 burned pediatrics were investigated. The patients were divided into two groups. Those in the `conventional` group (n = 35) did not accepted to enter in Xenoderm group and the second group (n = 51) accepted to enter in to Xenoderm group. Mortality rates in the `conventional` group were 5 (14.3%) and no death were in the Xenoderm group. The median of number of dressing in the `conventional` group and Xenoderm group were 10 and 3 (p = 0.0005), respectively. In 20 to 39% Total Body Surface Area (TBSA), the median of first admission hospital stay in the `conventional` group and Xenoderm group were 20 and 7.5 (p = 0.001), respectively. In conclusion, the results indicate that Xenoderm dressings offer a lower mortality, hospital stay and dressing exchange in pediatrics burns. A randomized clinical trial that compares the number of operations, albumin intake and scar formation in pediatric burns is warranted. |
