SCORTEN severity-of-illness score (Bastuji-Garin [8]). The score of the patient is marked bold.

SCORTEN parameter	Individual score	SCORTEN sum (sum of scores)	Predicted mortality rate (%)
Age > 40 years	Yes = 1, no = 0	0	3.2
Presence of cancer	Yes = 1, no = 0	2	12.1
Heart rate > 120 beats per minute	Yes = 1, no = 0	3	35.8
TBSA involved > 10%	Yes = 1, no = 0	4	58.3
Serum urea level > 10 mmol/L	Yes = 1, no = 0	>5	90
Plasma glucose level > 14 mmol/L	Yes = 1, no = 0
Bicarbonate level < 20 mmol/L	Yes = 1, no = 0
