FIGURE 3. Resting energy expenditure patients stratified for age. A, The measured REE for patients <3 years of age were significantly lower at all time points when compared with the patients from 10 to 18 years and at acute, discharge and at 12 months postburn compared with 3 to 9.9 years. There was a significant difference between patients in the 3- to 9-year age group compared with the 10- to 18-year age group at all time points. B, Percent predicted REE for patients in the <3-year age group was significantly lower compared with the 10- to 18-year group during the acute study and upon discharge. C, Children <3 years of age had the lowest REE/BMI index at all time points compared with 10 to 18 years and at acute, discharge and at 12 months compared with the 3 to 9.9 years. Children 3 to 9.9 years had lower REE/BMI index acutely, at discharge and 6 months postburn compared with 10 to 18 years. *Significant difference between 0 to 2.9 years and 10 to 18 years (P < 0.05). ^†Significant difference between 3 to 9.9 compared with 10 to 18 years (P < 0.05). ^‡Significant difference between 0 to 2.9 compared with 3 to 9.9 years (P < 0.05).
