Study Summary

The primary objective is to compare the incremental costs (direct and indirect) and benefits (healing outcomes, quality of life) of using foam silver dressing (Mepilex® Ag) to a Silver sulfadiazine 1% cream (Silvadene®) from the perspective of the health care provider. The secondary objectives are to investigate the safety, the tolerance and the performance on burn status including pain.

Primary Outcome

The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio is calculated as the difference in total costs in each group divided by the difference in rate of full re-epithelialization (taken from the survival curve) at 20 days in each group (Δcosts/ Δeffects). Total costs were calculated based on the costs of primary and secondary dressings, silver sulphadiazine cream and estimated application, labor, supplies and pain medications. These costs were estimated from a representative sample of each population, across
