This retrospective analysis of burn patients and victims of other forms of trauma from Ribeirão Preto and nearby cities admitted to hospitals in the city of Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil, was carried out to determine the frequency of injuries of all types in order to identify the extent of the problem of burns relative to other forms of trauma. Data concerning 921 patients with burns and 60,344 patients with other traumatic injuries hospitalized during the period from 1991 to 1997 are described. Burns corresponded to 1.5% of the total number of traumatic injuries. When data are reported as absolute numbers or as incidence rate of hospitalized burn patients, burns were two times more frequent among men in most age groups. The case fatality ratio due to burns was 8.4% (77 deaths among 921 patients), with a rate of 6.4% for men and 12.2% for women. The case fatality ratio was higher among women than men regardless of the city of residence. The case fatality ratio was 3.2 and 4.4 times greater for men and women burn victims from other towns than for burn victims from Ribeirão Preto, indicating the need for additional equipment and training of medical and paramedical personnel in the initial measures to be taken with burn patients.
对巴西圣保罗州里贝朗普雷图市及附近城市的烧伤患者和其他创伤受害者进行了回顾性分析，这些患者均被收治于里贝朗普雷图市的医院，目的是确定各类损伤的发生频率，以便明确烧伤问题相对于其他创伤形式的严重程度。本文描述了1991年至1997年期间住院的921例烧伤患者和60344例其他创伤患者的数据。烧伤患者占创伤患者总数的1.5%。当以绝对数字或住院烧伤患者的发病率报告数据时，在大多数年龄组中，男性烧伤患者的数量是女性的两倍。烧伤导致的病死率为8.4%（921例患者中有77例死亡），男性病死率为6.4%，女性为12.2%。无论居住在哪个城市，女性的病死率均高于男性。来自其他城镇的男性和女性烧伤患者的病死率分别是里贝朗普雷图市烧伤患者的3.2倍和4.4倍，这表明需要为医疗和辅助医疗人员提供更多设备，并对他们进行烧伤患者初步救治措施方面的培训。
