Ejection Fraction (EF%) – preserved systolic function (EF%>50%) versus systolic dysfunction (EF%≤ 50%) and outcome variables

	EF < 50%	EF ≤ 50%
AGE_yrs	10.0±1.3	9.6±1.2
TBSA_%	59.0±4.6	67.2±4.0

Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. Systolic Function versus age, total burn surface area (%TBSA), length of stay (LOS) in ICU, number of surgeries, ventilation days, renal function (serum creatinine), pharmacologic cardiovascular support and inhalation injury.
