Prevalence and predictors of scar contracture-associated re-hospitalisation among burn inpatients in China

Abstract Scar contracture, a common destructive complication causing increased re-hospitalisation rate of burn survivors and aggravated burden on the medical system, may be more seriously in Chinese population because of their higher susceptibility to scar formation. This study aims to evaluate the...
