Bold indicates statistical significance, P < 0.05.

*

The variable bum location ‘forearm or hand’ was dropped due to collinearity with ‘involvement of dominant hand’.

**

The variables ‘percentage of body grafted’ and ‘length of hospital stay’ were dropped due to collinearity with ‘percentage of body burned’.
