In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This prospective observational cohort study aims to investigate the longitudinal changes in the skin and gut microbiome of burn patients after injury and compare them with healthy controls. Burn injuries are known to induce systemic physiological and immune responses that may lead to widespread microbial dysbiosis (microbial imbalance) beyond the injured site. However, the dynamics of microbial community changes in both burned and non-burned skin, as well as the gut, remain poorly understood. In this study, a total of 660 participants will be enrolled, including 600 burn patients and 60 healthy controls. For burn patients, skin swabs from burned scars and matched non-burned skin, stool samples, and physiological skin measurements will be collected at multiple time points (baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months). Healthy controls will provide skin and stool samples at bas
