The Effect of Selenium Supplementation Among Pediatric Patients With Burns

NCT00860379 ↗

Phase 4 Terminated 14 enrolled Shriners Hospitals for Children
RandomizedParallel-groupQuadruple-blindPrevention

Summary

The selenium status of children with major burns is suboptimal which may increase the incidence of infection. Se requirements during critical illness are not known. Results from this investigation may provide a tool for recommending Se supplements during burn injury. The hypothesis of this research is that Se supplementation will restore the depressed Se status among children with burn injuries. The secondary hypothesis is that Se status is related to the incidence of infection among pediatric patients with burns.
