Mortality and length of stay (LOS) of survivors was examined retrospectively in 270 adults with acute burns > or =20% of body surface area to determine the effect of Integra Dermal Regeneration Template treatment on outcome. No difference in mortality was found between patients who received Integra (30%; n = 43) and patients who did not (30%; n = 227). Surviving Integra patients (n = 30) stayed longer, but they were more extensively injured than survivors who did not receive Integra (n = 158), and therefore longer hospitalizations were expected. In a subgroup analysis, mean LOS of Integra patients with two or more mortality risk factors (age > 60 years, burn size >40% body surface area, or inhalation injury; n = 15) was 63 days compared with 107 days in patients with two or more risk factors (n = 29) who did not receive Integra ( =.014). Integra use in severely injured burned adults was associated with a marked decrease in LOS.
