During the period January 1988 to December 1989, medically treated burn injuries in The Netherlands were recorded prospectively by three registration systems. These systems cover patients treated in burn units, in general and university hospitals, and by general practitioners. Incidence rates and 95 per cent confidence intervals were calculated, and basic epidemiological data about severity and localization of the burns and about accident circumstances were collected. The overall incidence rate of medically treated burns over all levels of medical care is estimated to be about 280 per 100,000 persons per year. This overall incidence figure appeared to be about three times as high for 0-4-year-old children: 775 per 100,000 per year. At all levels of medical care, scalds are the most frequent type of burn, resulting in an overall incidence rate among 0-4-year-old children of 430 per 100,000 per year. Incidence rates are lowest among the elderly (55 years and over), but this age group suffers a higher mortality from burns. Furthermore, it appeared that males are more prone to serious burns than females, whereas female are more often treated for less severe burns. Most of the accident circumstances for serious burns were related to professions, whereas most of the circumstances for less severe burns were related to household activities.
在1988年1月至1989年12月期间，荷兰通过三个登记系统对接受医学治疗的烧伤病例进行了前瞻性记录。这些系统涵盖了在烧伤病房、综合医院和大学医院以及由全科医生治疗的患者。计算了发病率和95%置信区间，并收集了有关烧伤严重程度和部位以及事故情况的基本流行病学数据。据估计，各级医疗护理中接受医学治疗的烧伤总体发病率约为每年每10万人280例。对于0至4岁的儿童，这一总体发病率数字似乎高出约三倍：每年每10万人775例。在各级医疗护理中，烫伤是最常见的烧伤类型，0至4岁儿童的总体发病率为每年每10万人430例。发病率在老年人（55岁及以上）中最低，但该年龄组烧伤死亡率较高。此外，似乎男性比女性更容易遭受严重烧伤，而女性接受较轻烧伤治疗的情况更为常见。严重烧伤的大多数事故情况与职业有关，而较轻烧伤的大多数情况与家庭活动有关。
