Burn Injury and Cellular Energy in Kids and Adults

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study will enroll patients aged 2 to 80 who require hospital admission for burn care at Arkansas Children’s Hospital. Researchers will collect basic demographic data, details of the burn, vital signs on the day of surgery, medications, and results from clinical tests. Biological samples such as blood, urine, and tissue obtained during surgeries will be analyzed to understand cellular energetics after burn injury. The study is sponsored by Arkansas Children’s Hospital Research Institute with collaboration from NIGMS and is conducted at a single center in Little Rock, AR.
