During the periods March 1 1983 to February 29, 1984 in the Aarhus County Hospital and from November 1 1982 to November 30 1983 in the Central Hospital in Randers, a total of 47 scalding accidents in children were registered among 338 burns resulting from accidents in the home. The incidence of scalds was greatest in the age group 0-2 years. The number of scalds was greater during winter and no less than five children were admitted to intensive care units in hospital, one of these being transferred to the Burns Unit of Hvidovre Hospital, Copenhagen. The commonest accident mechanism was scalding when the child pulled a cloth or electric cable attached to a coffee machine, thereby upsetting a container of hot water. This explains why the most frequent localizations of scalding were the face, head, neck, trunk and upper limbs.
在1983年3月1日至1984年2月29日期间于奥胡斯县医院，以及1982年11月1日至1983年11月30日期间于兰讷斯中心医院，在家中意外烧伤的338例病例中，共登记了47例儿童烫伤事故。烫伤发生率在0至2岁年龄组最高。冬季烫伤人数更多，且不少于5名儿童被收治入院重症监护病房，其中1名被转至哥本哈根惠多夫医院烧伤科。最常见的事故机制是儿童拉扯连接咖啡机的布或电缆，从而打翻热水容器导致烫伤。这就解释了为什么烫伤最常见的部位是面部、头部、颈部、躯干和上肢。
