Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Burns can lead to dramatic consequences in terms of morbidity and mortality. Where preventive strategies have been adopted and adequate care is guaranteed, incidence and outcomes after burns have progressively improved, while in limited resource settings they have not. Research can contribute to reducing the burden of burns, identifying risk groups, analyzing management and outcomes, and promoting systematic data collection. Collaboration among burn care experts and researchers around the world may contribute to providing one standard of care, reducing differences
