PURPOSE
To evaluate the relative contribution of methamphetamine production-related accidents to facial and ocular injuries admitted to a regional burn unit.
DESIGN
Retrospective observational case series.
METHODS
Chart review of all patients admitted to the Burn Unit at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC) over a 16-month interval.
RESULTS
Methamphetamine related accidents were responsible for thirteen (9.8%) of 132 patients admitted with facial burns to UIHC during the study period. All victims were male. In addition to facial burns, eight patients (14 eyes) suffered chemical or thermal burns of the ocular surface of Hughes grade I or worse. One patient required full-thickness skins grafts for cicatricial ectropion of all four eyelids.
CONCLUSION
In endemic areas such as Iowa, methamphetamine production accidents contribute to as many as 10% of admissions to burn care units for facial and ocular injuries.
目的
评估与甲基苯丙胺生产相关的事故对一家地区烧伤科收治的面部和眼部损伤的相对影响。
设计
回顾性观察病例系列。
方法
对爱荷华大学医院及诊所（UIHC）烧伤科在16个月期间收治的所有患者进行病历审查。
结果
在研究期间，132例因面部烧伤入住UIHC的患者中，有13例（9.8%）与甲基苯丙胺相关事故有关。所有受害者均为男性。除面部烧伤外，8例患者（14只眼）眼部表面遭受休斯I级或更严重的化学或热烧伤。1例患者因所有四个眼睑瘢痕性睑外翻需要进行全层皮肤移植。
结论
在爱荷华州等流行地区，与甲基苯丙胺生产相关的事故导致面部和眼部损伤入住烧伤护理病房的患者比例高达10%。
