AbstractBurn injuries can present in a myriad of ways and in a diverse patient population. Its severity is not only determined by the nature of the burn injury or the extent of the injury but also by several patient factors. Mortality in burn injury used to be very unpredictable but now there are various means of predicting morbidity and mortality in a burns patient. The scoring system developed by Ryan Score was one such tool formulated to aid in outcome prediction in burn patients. In this case study, we evaluate the accuracy of the Ryan score in predicting mortality outcomes in a patient with thermal burns.
