% full-thickness burn, % TBSA burn, Urine (mL/kg/hour), and Input:Output Ratio were compared with a Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney Test. Age, Cumulative Crystalloids (mL), and Cumulative Crystalloids (ml/kg/% TBSA burn) were compared with a two-sample t-test. Inhalation Injury was evaluated with a Chi-Square Test.
Note: Urine (mL/kg/hour) did not include pre burn-center urine output.
Note: For 21 patients, albumin was started upon admission or did not have any urine output before being administered albumin. They are listed as ‘missing’ and not included in the analysis.
