From: Multi-institutional analysis of independent predictors for burn mortality in the United States
Number of burn cases recorded in the National Burn Respository (NBR) and stratified by year and outcome. As shown, the number of burn cases reported to the NBR from United States (US) burn centers has been increasing annually since 2002. During this period, the proportion of patients passing away from their injuries has been steady at around 3–4%. Unfortunately, for the last year available to the public (2011), only partial NBR data are available
