    AbstractThe Burn Specific Health Scale (BSHS) is the most commonly used instrument used to evaluate burn survivors' quality of life (QOL). Multiple forms of the instrument exist; however, the literature lacks clarity in regard as to why a particular version of the BSHS was used and how the instrument performed in a variety of samples. This paper provides a review of the literature of the variations of the BSHS, its utility for research and clinical practice, and scoring concerns.Published by Elsevier Ltd.
