Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Wound healing rate (Healing rate):Determined based on the percentage of wound epithelialization at each visit (every 4 days).The assessment will be performed by two evaluators (a burn surgeon and a nurse).Follow-up will continue until complete wound healing is achieved.Unit of measurement: percentage (%)Type of variable: continuousPain intensity during dressing change (Pain score):Measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) on days 4 and 8 after the intervention.The score ranges from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain).Unit of measurement: numerical score (0–10)Type of variable: ordinalScar severity after wound healing (Scar severity):Assessed using the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS), based on four parameters:Pigmentation (0–2)Vascularity (0–3)Pliability (0–5)Height (0–3)The total score ranges from 0 (normal scar) to 13 (worst condition). Timepoint: On days 4 and 8, pain during dressing changes will be recorded using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Method of measurement: Dressings for all patients will be changed every four days, and the wounds will be assessed by two evaluators (a burn surgeon and a nurse). Wound healing will be recorded based on the percentage of epithelialization, and photographs will be taken. This procedure will continue until complete wound healing is achieved. Potential signs of infection will also be monitored during this period. On days 4 and 8, pain during dressing changes will be recorded using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), where pain is rated from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain).For the assessment of surgical wound scars, the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) will be used, which evaluates scars based on vascularity, pigmentation, pliability, and height. The VSS is widely used in clinical practice and research to document changes in scar appearance. According to VSS, scars are scored for pigmentation (2 points), vascularity (3 points), pliability (5 points), and height (3 points), with total scores ranging from 0 (normal) to 13 | — |

| Pain intensity during dressing change (based on VAS on days 4 and 8). Timepoint: The dressing of all patients will be changed every four days, and the wound will be examined by two observers (a burn surgeon and a nurse). The rate of healing will be recorded based on the percentage of epithelialization, and photographs will be taken. This process will continue until complete wound healing is achieved. Possible signs of infection will also be assessed at the same time. On days 4 and 8, the level of pain during dressing changes will be recorded using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Method of measurement: Primary variable: Wound healing rateMeasurement: Based on the percentage of epithelializationMethod: Clinical examination by two observers (a burn surgeon and a nurse) and photographic documentationTiming: At each dressing change (every 4 days) until complete wound healing.;Scar status based on the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS)Incidence of wound infection. Timepoint: The dressing of all patients will be changed every four days, and the wound will be examined by two observers (a burn surgeon and a nurse). The rate of healing will be recorded based on the percentage of epithelialization, and photographs will be taken. This process will continue until complete wound healing is achieved. Possible signs of infection will also be assessed at the same time. On days 4 and 8, the level of pain during dressing changes will be recorded using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).
