This study uses Missouri's inpatient and outpatient E code data system to describe the demographic characteristics of Missouri children who suffered burn injuries during 1994 and 1995.
Retrospective review of Missouri E code data.
Altogether 8,404 children aged 0-14 years were treated for burn injuries in Missouri hospitals during 1994 and 1995. The rate of burn injury in Missouri children was 339 per 100,000/year. African-American boys 0-4 years living in urban counties were at increased risk. In addition, African-American girls ages 0-4 years living in counties with a high poverty rate had raised burn injury rates. Burns from hot objects and scalds from hot liquids caused more than half of the burns.
Hospital based E coding has proven an invaluable tool for the study of burns and will, no doubt, prove equally useful for other injuries.
本研究使用密苏里州住院和门诊E编码数据系统来描述1994年至1995年间遭受烧伤的密苏里州儿童的人口统计学特征。
对密苏里州E编码数据进行回顾性审查。
1994年至1995年间,密苏里州医院共治疗了8404名0至14岁的烧伤儿童。密苏里州儿童的烧伤率为每年每10万人339例。居住在城市县的0至4岁非裔美国男孩风险增加。此外,生活在贫困率高的县的0至4岁非裔美国女孩烧伤率也有所上升。热物体烫伤和热液体烫伤导致的烧伤占烧伤总数的一半以上。
基于医院的E编码已被证明是研究烧伤的宝贵工具,毫无疑问,它对其他损伤的研究也同样有用。
