Facial burns account for persistent differences in psychosocial functioning in adult burn survivors.

Although adolescent burn survivors experience myriad chronic sequelae, little is known about the effect of facial injuries.

This study examines differences in long-term outcomes with and without head and neck involvement.

Data collected for 392 burn survivors between 14–17.9 years of age from the Burn Model System National Database (2006–2015) were analyzed.

Comparisons were made between two groups based on presence of a head and neck burn (H&N) using the following patient reported outcome measures: Satisfaction with Appearance Scale, Satisfaction with Life Scale, Community Integration Questionnaire, and Short Form-12 Health Survey at 6, 12, and 24 months after injury.

Regression analyses were used to assess association between outcome measures and H&N group at 12-months.
