NECROSIS, NECROTIC
Demographics of patients including age, sex, and baseline data on burn mechanisms (exposure source), site of burning, and necrotic and granulation tissues were collected at admission to the hospital and summarized in Table Demographics and clinical data of burn patients in both treatment armsOf special note, to further minimize interpretation bias, the results were also adjusted to the would size.The primary outcome in this study was considered as time to debridement that was defined as the time in which burns were cosmetically clean and participants were ready to receive transplantation (skin autograft). Digital photographs were taken during every 2 days, when old larvae dressings were replaced with new ones, and are presented for each patient in Additional file Necrosis and granulation changes between and within groups received larvae or conventional therapy. Necrosis was significantly decreased in patients who received larvae on days 2 and 4 compared to baseline and conventional treatment groups. The larvae group had significantly improved granulation throughout the interventional duration. Error bars represent the standard deviation for the bar charts and the standard error of the mean for scatter plots. * shows statistical differences between groups, *
