View through CrossRef
Objective: To compare the effectiveness of cellular versus acellular amnion in patients with superficial facial burns at tertiary care hospital burn center of Punjab. Study Design: Randomized Control Trial. Setting: Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery, Jinnah Burn and Reconstructive Surgery Center, Lahore. Period: 1st September 2020 to 31st December 2021. Methods: A total of 60 patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were recruited after the informed consent and were randomly divided into two groups with 30 patients in Group A and 30 patients in Group B. Group A patients had acellular amnion application and Group B had cellular amnion application over the superficial facial burns. The data was noted on a predesigned proforma and analyzed by using IBM-SPSS.Version.25 and was compared in terms of outcome measures. Results: The mean age in Group A and B was 37.79.86 and 38.19.37(range20-70 years) respectively and mean pain score was 8.50.937 in group A and 8.70.897 in group B. Hypersensitivity reaction was seen in 13.33% in group A vs 26.67% patients in Group B, infection rate of 8.33% in Group A vs 25% in Group B, Healing in 31.67% vs 18.33% in Group A and B respectively while in Group A the need for skin graft was noted in 8.33% vs 20% in group B patients and the difference was significant statistically (p=0.045). Conclusion: Application of Acellular amnion is better choice than Cellular amnion over facial burns with less hypersensitivity reaction, infection rate, need of skin graft and with improved wound healing.
