Primary Outcome Measures:
- Determine Bone Health(bone growth,strength,and content) in burn injured patients. [ Time Frame: Admission to Burn Unit up to eighteen years old. ]
| Enrollment: | 254 |
| Study Start Date: | October 1992 |
| Study Completion Date: | June 2008 |
| Primary Completion Date: | June 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
| Arms | Assigned Interventions |
|---|---|
|
Active Comparator: 1
Compare bone density of severly burned children to normal non-burned population
|
Drug: Tetracycline
Two courses of IV Tetracycline(10mg./kg./day for two days)separated by a two week interval.
Radiation: Duel Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA)
DEXA before discharge from acute admission and again one year post burn.
Other Name: Duel Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry
Procedure: Bone Biopsy
Bone biopsy to be taken in the operation room at the last skin grafting operation at the site of the iliac crest. A second bone biopsy will be taken one year later post discharge from the acute admission.

Detailed Description:
More closely monitored biochemical and radiologic parameters of bone and mineral metabolism will increase the likelihood of earlier detection of abnormalities and possible therapeutic interventions.
Eligibility| Ages Eligible for Study: | 5 Years to 18 Years (Child, Adult) |
| Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
| Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Children age 5-18 years old with at least 40% or more of their body burned.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Anyone with a burn covering less than 40% of the body or whose burn covers the front of both hipbones.
- Anyone younger than 5 years old, anyone with a history of cancer or other metabolic disease process, or anyone who is pregnant or has an allergy to Tetracycline will also be excluded.
- Anyone who has participated in an investigational drug trial within the past 60 days from date of admission will be excluded from this study.
