Predictive validity of short term scar quality on final burn scar outcome using the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale in patients with minor to moderate burn severity

Highlights • Final burn scar quality can be predicted by an early POSAS assessment at 3 months. • The relationship between short and long term scar quality is adequate. • The POSAS items pain and stiffness are most predictive in patients. • The POSAS items relief and pliability are most predictive i...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • Final burn scar quality can be predicted by an early POSAS assessment at 3 months. • The relationship between short and long term scar quality is adequate. • The POSAS items pain and stiffness are most predictive in patients. • The POSAS items relief and pliability are most predictive in observers. • The POSAS is a reliable scale, construct validity was adequate at 3 months only.
