Socioeconomic status (SES) factors have been associated with the risk of burn, but the relative significance of these findings across populations and cultures is not known. The purpose of this literature synthesis was to determine: (1) which SES factors have been associated with burn risk; (2) whether these factors are generalizable across studies; and (3) which of these factors are modifiable. A search of studies of SES and burn risk published between January 1992 and September 2006 yielded 34 pertinent studies. SES risk factors were placed into categories pertaining to ethnicity, income, family structure, education, occupation, residence, and general SES. SES factors associated with increased risk included: ethnicity (non-white), low income, large families, single parents, illiteracy, low maternal education, unemployment, job loss, substandard living conditions, not owning a home, not having a telephone, and crowding. The lack of standard definitions for SES, as well as the heterogeneity of study populations and outcome variables, limits the generalizability of these results. However, the results confirm that several SES factors are associated with increased risk of burn and provide a template of factors to be considered when studying burn populations.
社会经济地位（SES）因素与烧伤风险相关，但这些研究结果在不同人群和文化中的相对重要性尚不清楚。本文献综述的目的是确定：（1）哪些SES因素与烧伤风险相关；（2）这些因素在各项研究中是否具有普遍性；（3）其中哪些因素是可改变的。检索1992年1月至2006年9月间发表的关于SES与烧伤风险的研究，共获得34项相关研究。SES风险因素被分为与种族、收入、家庭结构、教育、职业、居住情况和总体SES相关的类别。与风险增加相关的SES因素包括：种族（非白人）、低收入、大家庭、单亲家庭、文盲、母亲教育程度低、失业、失业、生活条件差、无自有住房、无电话以及居住拥挤。SES缺乏标准定义，以及研究人群和结果变量的异质性，限制了这些结果的普遍性。然而，结果证实了几个SES因素与烧伤风险增加相关，并为研究烧伤人群时应考虑的因素提供了一个模板。
