In this study, ultrasound measurement was used to reveal objective differences between male and female patients in arm burn scar thickness.
Methods
An experienced physician trained by radiologists used an ultrasound machine and a digital height and weight scale to measure normal skin and scar thicknesses and patients’ body mass indices (BMIs). On the day of testing, the pressure garments (PGs) on the patients’ arms were removed.
Results
Bonferroni 95% confidence intervals for scar thicknesses measured in female and male patients were 0.135 to 0.212 cm and 0.045 to 0.113 cm, respectively; the individual confidence level was 97.5%. For both groups, a

Bonferroni 95% confidence intervals for scar thicknesses measured in female and male patients were 0.135 to 0.212 cm and 0.045 to 0.113 cm, respectively; the individual confidence level was 97.5%. For both groups, a
P
value of < .05 was obtained for the multiple comparison and Levene tests. The test for equal variances for both groups resulted in no overlapping intervals and significantly different corresponding standard deviations. Thus, scar thicknesses differed between male and female patients using 24-mmHg PGs. The scar tissue of female patients was thicker than that of male patients. We also observed that patients with a high BMI (22.4–23.8) had smaller mean scar thicknesses.
Conclusion
Patients with a high BMI had smaller mean scar thickness. Although these findings are notable, the same pressure was applied to different body types and body parts; the height of the scars also varied across different areas of patients’ bodies. We hope to recruit more patients with burns on other parts of the body to extend our findings.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1609-0985</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 2199-4757</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1007/s40846-020-00592-x</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Berlin/Heidelberg: Springer Berlin Heidelberg</publisher><subject>Biomedical Engineering and Bioengineering ; Body mass index ; Body parts ; Cell Biology ; Confidence intervals ; Engineering ; Imaging ; Original Article ; Radiology ; Scars ; Statistical analysis ; Thickness measurement ; Ultrasonic imaging ; Ultrasound</subject><ispartof>Journal of medical and biological engineering, 2021-02, Vol.41 (1), p.84-91</ispartof><rights>Taiwanese Society of Biomedical Engineering 2021</rights><rights>Taiwanese Society of Biomedical Engineering 2021.</rights><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c356t-611ebc46b058746ee1e0895aa8cbe85f46b4fa4232395c9e8913c8d16afc44443</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c356t-611ebc46b058746ee1e0895aa8cbe85f46b4fa4232395c9e8913c8d16afc44443</cites><orcidid>0000-0002-3542-7210</orcidid></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s40846-020-00592-x$$EPDF$$P50$$Gspringer$$H</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://link.springer.com/10.1007/s40846-020-00592-x$$EHTML$$P50$$Gspringer$$H</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>314,776,780,27903,27904,41467,42536,51297</link.rule.ids></links><search><creatorcontrib>Huang, Pi-Wen</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Lu, Chih-Wei</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Chu, Kwo-Ta</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Ho, Ming-Te</creatorcontrib><title>Assessing Thickness of Burn Scars Through Ultrasound Measurement for Patients with Arm Burns</title><title>Journal of medical and biological engineering</title><addtitle>J.
