Background: different systems of prognosis classification for the follow up classification for patients in critical stage in different clinical conditions have been created in intensive care unit. However any of them has been used in our country in burnt patients because there is a lack of element for its evaluation. Objective: identifying the variables that constitute previous factors correlated to the development of multiple organic syndrome dysfunction in adults severely burnt. Methods: correlational, descriptive study, that included 68 burnt critical patients admitted at Gurstavo Aldeleguía Lima hospital from 2005 to 2009. Patients classified as critical, very critical and extremely critical were included. Through a bi-varied analysis a series of dependent variables in terms of the presence of the syndrome were evaluated. In order to analyze their relation with the presence or not of the syndrome, multivariate analysis of logistic regression and interaction among variables were applied. Results: at the moment of admission variables largely correlated to the syndrome were: corporal burned-out surface, depth AB and B, heart and respiratory rate, arterial base deficit, relation PO2FIO2, sodium, potassium and white blood cell count. The interactions among variables belonging to bigger statistical significance were observed between the heart rate, white blood cell count and corporal burned-out surface. Conclusion: a group of clinical and laboratory factors was identified, associated to the development of the syndrome in the evolution of the patients severely burnt. These results will inform in a precocious way about the probability for burnt patients to present in any time of his evolution, dysfunctions that lead them to develop the syndrome.
