Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to determine whether our chemical assay can be used to reliably predict graft take or failure in patients undergoing autologous skin grafting for treatment of acute burn injury.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Procedure: Graft

Detailed Description

This is an observational pilot study of patients treated at UF Health Shands Burn Center adult service. This is a study to determine the predictive value of quantifying concentrations of specific MMPs. Coupling this with a specialized collection sample collection system and a calibrated fluorimetry allows for the rapid assessment of MMP concentrations. This assay has been validated as a predictor of failed wound healing in a published clinical study involving chronic open wounds.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Patients admitted to the burn center

Patients admitted to the Burn Service with acute burn injuries requiring at least one surgical excision and grafting operation.

Procedure: Graft
Autogenous skin grafting is the only definitive treatment for the full thickness burn injuries, and thus represents the centerpiece of modern burn care.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Predictability of graft take [2 years]

    Determine whether chemical assay can be used to reliably predict graft take or failure in patients undergoing autologous skin grafting for treatment of acute burn injury.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Wound healing [2 years]

    Assess the predictive value of serial MMP assays in identifying wounds transitioning from likely-to-fail to likely-to-succeed
