Comments on “Diabetes mellitus after injury in burn and non-burned patients: A population based retrospective cohort study”

We read the article by Duke and colleagues with great interest [1]. The study was conducted to compare hospitalisations for diabetes mellitus (DM) after injury experienced by burn patients, non-burn trauma patients and people with no record of injury admission, adjusting for socio-demographic, health and injury factors. It was concluded that burn and non-burn trauma patients experienced elevated rates of DM admissions after injury compared to the non-injured cohort. It is obvious that an interesting study has been conducted but some methodological issues need to be considered.
