BACKGROUND No methods exist to rapidly and accurately quantify the immune insult created by burn injuries. The development of a rapid, noninvasive clinical biomarker assay that evaluates a burn patient's underlying immune dysfunction and predicts clinical outcomes could transform burn care. We aimed to determine a set of peripheral biomarkers that correlates with clinical outcomes of burn patients. METHODS This prospective observational study enrolled two patient cohorts within a single burn center into an institutionally approved institutional review board study. Blood draws were performed
