The Abbreviated Burn Severity Index

The abbreviated burn severity index is a simple and clinically useful score that is derived from multivariate logistic regression. This score, consisting of five variables (sex of patient, age, presence of inhalation injury, presence of full thickness burn, percentage of total body surface area burned), demonstrates predictive power for classifying patients according to their risk.
