When to use
Population-level prognostication after major burns.
How it works
Revised Baux = age + %TBSA + 17 (if inhalation injury). A value around 110–130 corresponds to roughly 50% mortality in modern series.
Key points
- Inhalation injury adds substantial risk.
- An estimate, not an individual prognosis.
- Modern burn care has improved historical survival.

Worked calculation
The values below come from this tool's own example placeholders and are computed server-side with the formula shown on this page, so the arithmetic can be checked quickly. It demonstrates how to substitute values only — it is not clinical advice and not a real case.
| Age | 50 years |
|---|---|
| % total body surface area burned | 30 % |
| Inhalation injury | No |
→Revised Baux80
- Components：age + %TBSA + 17 (if inhalation injury)
- Interpretation：Substantial mortality. A revised Baux near ~110–130 corresponds to roughly 50% mortality in modern series.
| Age | 50 years |
|---|---|
| % total body surface area burned | 30 % |
| Inhalation injury | Yes (+17) |
→Revised Baux97
- Components：age + %TBSA + 17 (if inhalation injury)
