[Expert consensus on classification evaluation methods of burn surgery in China (2019 version)].

At the beginning of 2009, the 38th principle of the Administrative Measures for Clinical Application of Medical Technology, issued by the former Ministry of Health, clearly pointed out that medical institutions should establish a hierarchical management system for surgery. Then the Trial of Administrative Measures for Surgical Classification of Medical Institutions was published and implemented in 2012, but the official introduction of surgical classification catalogue in the national level has not been seen. Therefore, the writing group of this expert consensus has organized numerous well-known experts and scholars in China, taking the three elements of the 38th principle of the Administrative Measures for Clinical Application of Medical Technology issued by the Ministry of Health--risk coefficient, complexity, and technical difficulty as the basic norm to grade scientifically through the four indicators of burn index, surgical area, surgical repair method, and anesthesia risk (each indicator with 4 grades and scores). The total score is then accumulated to divide four grades of operations. The Expert Consensus on Classification Evaluation Methods of Burn Surgery in China (2019 Version) is strategized together expecting to provide academic reference for the government departments to issue or further improve and perfect surgical classification catalogue in the national level as soon as possible, and lay a foundation for the stable development of burn discipline with the significance of national strategic reserve.2009年初原卫生部印发的《医疗技术临床应用管理办法》第38条明确指出，医疗机构应当建立手术分级管理制度，之后《医疗机构手术分级管理办法(试行)》于2012年公布实施，但至今尚未看到国家层面的手术分级目录正式出台。因此本共识编写组组织了国内众多知名专家学者，以原卫生部《医疗技术临床应用管理办法》第38条原则的三大要素——风险系数、复杂程度、技术难度为基本准则，通过对手术患者的烧伤指数、手术面积、手术修复方法及麻醉风险4个指标(每个指标分4个等级分值)进行科学评分，累计总分后区分4个级别手术，共同制订了《中国烧伤专科手术分级评估方法专家共识(2019版)》，期望为政府部门尽快出台或进一步完善国家层面手术分级目录提供专业的学术参考，为具有国家战略储备意义的烧伤学科的稳定发展奠定基础。.
