Pre-burn malnutrition increases operative mortality in burn patients who undergo early excision and grafting in a sub-Saharan African burn unit: Methodological issues

They concluded that poor nutrition is associated with post-operative mortality in burned patients. Undoubtedly, their results make contribution to the area but some important methodological issues need to be noted.
