Japan Society for Burn Injury 2011　10 Years - Analysis Report

Abstract

 In April 2011, the Japanese Society for Burn Injury (JSBI) launched the JSBI burn registry 2011 to develop guidelines and enhance the quality of burn care in Japan. By the end of March 2022, there were 120 facilities involved in the registry, and the total number of registrations exceeded 20,000.
 The registry was established as a web-based database and its scope included requests for data entry from each registered facility. The 25 input items were tabulated by year and are shown in an annual report on the JSBI website. The survey covered not only the acute treatment for burn but also reconstructive surgery in the chronic phase.
 In our research, we report on the current status of burn care in Japan based on the JSBI burn registry 2011 from April 2011 to March 2021. This data may reflect the current quality provided by major medical institutions in Japan.
 Conversely, after 11 years of functioning, this registry is supposed to have become inadequately informative due to changes in treatment and revised JSBI clinical practice guidelines for the management of burn care. Since April 2023, the contents and the system of JSBI burn registry 2023 have been completely modified. We hope that the results of this analysis can be applied for further elaboration of burn care by the future generations.
