During the ten year period 1981 to 1990, a total of 436 children aged 0-5 years were admitted for scalds at the Burns Unit of Hvidovre Hospital. We did not find any reduction in the number of admissions during this period nor was any change in the patterns of scalds found. Water, tea and coffee were the main causal agents of scalds and the dominant group of scalded children was between the ages one to two years. In 37% of cases, the scalds required grafting and the average stay in hospital was 16 days. The background for this unchanged pattern could be that the prophylactive campaigns have been insufficient.
在1981年至1990年这十年间，共有436名0至5岁的儿童因烫伤入住维德医院烧伤科。在此期间，我们没有发现入院人数有所减少，烫伤模式也没有任何变化。水、茶和咖啡是烫伤的主要致因，烫伤儿童的主要年龄段在1至2岁之间。在37%的病例中，烫伤需要植皮，平均住院时间为16天。这种模式没有改变的原因可能是预防宣传活动不够充分。
