[Research advances on post-burn cognitive disorders and its mechanism].

Cognitive disorders after burns is an important problem that cannot be ignored in the diagnosis and treatment of burn patients. Its mechanism may be related to the activation of inflammatory response, destruction of the blood-brain barrier, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis imbalance, nerve cell changes, etc. Mechanism-specific prevention and treatment will be the best choice to reduce post-burn cognitive disorders in the future. This review introduces the research advances in epidemiology, risk factors, possible pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cognitive disorders in burn patients, in order to provide a reference for timely and accurate assessment, treatment, and prevention of cognitive disorders in burn patients.
