Burned Adults Develop Profound Glucose Intolerance
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Metabolic alterations after burn injury have been well described in children; however, in adult patients, glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity are essentially unknown. We sought to characterize metabolic alterations and insulin resistance after burn injury and determine their magnitude and persistence at discharge.
DESIGN: Prospective, cohort study.
