The patient's own palm is used as a template in assessing small patchy burns and is traditionally believed to be 1% of body surface area. This does alter with the patient's age, sex and BMI and there have been suggestions that it can also differ between ethnic groups. We undertook this study to see if there were any differences in the hand surface area between Caucasians, Orientals and Asians. It was done by tracing the hand outline and calculating the surface area. The study showed that there was no significant difference between the three ethnic groups in terms of hand surface area.
在评估小面积散在烧伤时，患者自己的手掌被用作模板，传统上认为其占体表面积的1%。这确实会因患者的年龄、性别和体重指数而有所变化，并且有人提出不同种族之间也可能存在差异。我们进行这项研究是为了观察高加索人、东方人和亚洲人之间的手部表面积是否存在差异。研究通过描绘手部轮廓并计算表面积来完成。研究表明，这三个种族在手部表面积方面没有显著差异。
