Abstract

Introduction: Burn injury is one of the major global health problem. In many developed nations, burn incidence and death rates have been decreasing. Advances in the management of burn patients have contributed to significant improvements in morbidity and mortality over the last decade. However, the rate of child deaths from burns is still over 7 times in developing nations. This study was undertaken to compare the wound healing time, pain, complications and cost-effectiveness in partial thickness burns between collagen and amorphous hydrogel with colloidal silver dressings.
