THE IMPACT OF BREASTFEEDING ON THE PROGNOSIS IN BURNS WITH 20% AND GREATER IN CHILDREN UNDER 2 YEARS OLD

Abstract

Aim: Burn injuries are a significant cause of worldwide mortality and morbidity. Most of the cases have severe burns (>15% Total Body Surface Area (TBSA)), and 48% of cases require surgery (debridement and/or grafting). Burns induce a hypermetabolic state in the patient, leading to rapid malnutrition development. Studies have demonstrated the regenerative potential of breast milk on the proliferative signaling pathways of skin fibroblasts. Material and Methods: A hundred and twenty-five patients under age two with acutely burned lesions of 20% TBSA or greater who were admitted to the pediatric burn clinic were enrolled between 2013-2023. Data of patients were collected retrospectively. Patients were divided into two groups based on breastfeeding: those who breastfed during the treatment (65/125) and those who did not (60/125). Results: There wasn’t any statistically significant difference between groups in terms of operation need, infectious status, blood product and albumin transfusion, and length of hospital stay. The overall mortality rate was 4.8% (6/125). There was no statistically significant difference in mortality rates in both groups. Conclusion: Although statistical evidence may not directly show that oral breast milk intake has a significant impact on the wound healing process and mortality in major burn patients, it has been observed to assist in maintaining the nutritional status and preserving total body mass in these patients.
