| Details of default settings for a burn center with 200 adult patient annually | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-thickness/mixed-depth No. Patients (%) |
Deep partial-thickness No. Patients (%) |
Superficial partial-thicknessa No. Patients (%) |

| Wound depth distribution | 40 (20%) | 58 (29%) | 102 (51%) |
| Proportion of burns | |||
| TBSA 40% + (average 48%) | 5 (13%) | 5 (8%) | 7 (7%) |
| TBSA 21–40% (average 28%) | 15 (38%) | 20 (35%) | 26 (25%) |
| TBSA 10–20% (average 15%) | 19 (49%) | 33 (57%) | 69 (68%) |
aSuperficial partial-thickness patients receive no STSG or ASCS, as they are assumed to heal within 21 days. Note: May not sum to 100% because of rounding of number of patients in simulation
