An analysis of the epidemiological factors relating to domestic flammable agents has shown that 17.7 per cent of admissions over a 5-year period were involved in domestic flammable injuries; 87.7 per cent of the patients were male, with 38.9 per cent being young males between 12 and 19 years old. Petrol and diesel accounted for 56.8 per cent of the burns and the average body surface area burned was 17.7 per cent. Most commonly the face, hands and limbs were burned, and the average length of stay was 18.25 days, 69.2 per cent of the burns were due to human error and were thus potentially preventable, 21.2 per cent had predisposing conditions with 8.9 per cent being due to alcohol. It was considered that the strategies to prevent these burns injuries should be aimed particularly at young males.
一项关于家用易燃物品相关流行病学因素的分析表明，在5年期间，17.7%的住院病例涉及家用易燃物品造成的伤害；87.7%的患者为男性，其中38.9%为12至19岁的年轻男性。汽油和柴油导致的烧伤占56.8%，平均烧伤体表面积为17.7%。最常见的烧伤部位是面部、手部和四肢，平均住院时间为18.25天，69.2%的烧伤是人为失误所致，因此具有潜在可预防性，21.2%的患者有诱发因素，其中8.9%是由酒精引起的。据认为，预防这些烧伤的策略应特别针对年轻男性。
