Peripheral muscle protein net balance during acute hospitalization. All burned children had a negative net protein balance in skeletal muscle. The greatest muscle protein loss was found in children with 60–79% and >80% total body surface area (TBSA) burn. *Significant difference between >80% TBSA burn group versus <40% TBSA burn group, P < 0.05.
