The Ireton-Jones energy equation was specifically developed for use in patients with traumatic and/or burn injuries and takes into account factors such as injury severity and stress response.

The Harris-Benedict equation and 25-30 kcalories/kg body weight are general equations that do not take into account the specific needs of patients with traumatic and/or burn injuries.
