Data presented as the mean ± standard deviation or percentage. TBSA = total body surface area (range); III° area = third-degree burn area. Significant difference between Group II and Group I (**P < 0.01); significant difference between Group II and Group III (&&P < 0.01); significant difference between sepsis group and non-sepsis group (##P < 0.01); Significant difference between survivors group and non-survivors (††P < 0.01).
