🔥 Revised Baux Score (Burn Mortality)
Estimate burn mortality with the revised Baux score.
Revised Baux Score (Burn Mortality)
Age (years)
% total body surface area burned (%)
Inhalation injury
When to use
Population-level prognostication after major burns.
How it works
Revised Baux = age + %TBSA + 17 (if inhalation injury). A value around 110–130 corresponds to roughly 50% mortality in modern series.
Key points
- Inhalation injury adds substantial risk.
- An estimate, not an individual prognosis.
- Modern burn care has improved historical survival.
