A retrospective study was performed at the Yorkshire Regional Burns Centre from 1994 to 2004 inclusive to determine the changes in treatment and clinical outcomes of patients admitted with hot beverage burns and the effect of changes in referral patterns over this period. Although children under the age of 3 years accounted for 77.5% of all cases of hot beverage scalds, this injury was represented in all age groups. Children from 1 to 2 years of age had the highest incidence of this injury. Changes in referral patterns over this period resulted in a decrease in the mean total body surface area of injury, an increase in the number of admissions and an increase in the time interval from injury to admission to the Burns Centre for this period. The total body surface area given by referring facilities was often times inaccurate, as reported previously by this Burns Centre. The introduction of Biobrane in 2002 was effective in reducing the length of hospitalisation for patients with superficial partial thickness burns. Hot beverage burns remain a significant public health problem deserving of continuing efforts to maintain public awareness.
1994年至2004年（含）期间，在约克郡地区烧伤中心开展了一项回顾性研究，以确定热饮烧伤患者的治疗变化和临床结果，以及在此期间转诊模式变化的影响。尽管3岁以下儿童占热饮烫伤所有病例的77.5%，但各年龄组均有此类损伤。1至2岁的儿童这种损伤的发生率最高。在此期间转诊模式的变化导致平均总体表面积损伤减少、入院人数增加以及从受伤到入住烧伤中心的时间间隔增加。正如该烧伤中心之前所报告的，转诊机构给出的总体表面积常常不准确。2002年引入生物敷料有效地缩短了浅Ⅱ度烧伤患者的住院时间。热饮烧伤仍然是一个重大的公共卫生问题，值得继续努力提高公众意识。
