title: The assessment and classification of non-complex burns injuries.
abstract: A burn or scald, however minor, is painful and distressing. Patients with non-complex injuries may find that their quality of life is affected by pain, wound dressings and fear of disfigurement, as is the case, albeit for a shorter period of time, with more complex injuries.
