Comparison between R-Baux Score and BOBI Score as a Predictor of Burn Mortality in Dr. M. Djamil Hospital Padang

Burns are the type of trauma with high morbidity and mortality. No best objective scoring system is currently available to predict mortality in burn cases. This study aimed to compare the accuracy of R-Baux and BOBI scores in predicting mortality among burn patients in Dr. M. Djamil Hospital, Padang. This was a retrospective study on burn patients treated in burn unit of this hospital from January 2013 to September 2017. Assessments were performed on diagnostic test, kappa tests, and logistic regression test. Out of 394 samples enrolled men were more prominent, while the mean age of these patients was 28.3 +/- 18.3 years old with fire as the most frequent cause. The, mean TBSA and inhalation injury were 26.1% and 51%, respectively, with an overall mortality of 26.4%. The sensitivity test performed to compare BOBI and R-Baux scores revealed the result of 96.83%: 92.89% with o.50 coefficient's value of Kappa. Logistic regression test showed that age, TBSA, dan inhalation injury significantly correlated with R-Baux score, Diagnostic test result of BOBI score was better than R-Baux score and the coefficient's value of Kappa showed a matched result with BOBI score with medium strength. BOBI score shows better accuracy as the mortality predictor of burn cases in Dr. M. Djamil Hospital Padang.
