Bathing in sauna has been customary for Finnish people for centuries. However, there are no actual reviews on sauna-related burns in the literature. This 7-year retrospective analyses of 598 burn patients treated in Kuopio University Hospital Burn Unit revealed that every fourth burn in our unit was sauna-related, giving a total of 154 cases. Most of these burns were minor but 54% required operative treatment. A total of 71% of patients were male and 40% of all patients were under the influence of alcohol. The incidence of sauna-related burns in Finland according to our material is 7/100,000, giving a total of 357 patients annually. Hence, there is one sauna-related burn per day requiring hospitalization in Finland.
几个世纪以来，芬兰人一直有洗桑拿的习俗。然而，文献中并没有关于桑拿相关烧伤的实际综述。对库奥皮奥大学医院烧伤科治疗的598例烧伤患者进行的这项为期7年的回顾性分析显示，我们科室每四例烧伤中就有一例与桑拿有关，共有154例。这些烧伤大多为轻度，但54%需要手术治疗。患者中71%为男性，40%的患者受酒精影响。根据我们的资料，芬兰桑拿相关烧伤的发病率为7/100,000，每年共有357例患者。因此，芬兰每天有一例与桑拿相关的烧伤患者需要住院治疗。
