Burn is the most common pediatric injuries all over the world. The aim of this study was to study the epidemiology of burn in under 15-year-old Iranian children by applying a systematic review. The related articles published before 2016 have been gathered from international databases by using the keywords in term of pediatric burns such as ScienceDirect, PubMed, Iranmedex, Google Scholar, Embase, Magiran, and SID. The checklists of STROBE have been applied to evaluate the quality of the reviewed data. A total of 35 relevant studies were extracted and evaluated. In most studies, the incidence of pediatric burns in male patients was more than female patients by 9.5 to 50 cases in 100,000 per children. Mortality rate of pediatric burn was between 1.7 and 18.5%. The most common cause of pediatric burn was hot water or other hot liquids. Pediatric burn in urban areas was higher and the highest number of pediatric burns occurred at home. Burn is considered as one of the major incidents related to children's health that required planning to reduce its incidence, especially in the lower age groups as well as male patients who are more active and susceptible to burn.
烧伤是全球最常见的儿童伤害。本研究旨在通过系统评价研究15岁以下伊朗儿童的烧伤流行病学。通过使用诸如ScienceDirect、PubMed、Iranmedex、谷歌学术、Embase、Magiran和SID等儿科烧伤相关关键词，从国际数据库中收集了2016年之前发表的相关文章。采用STROBE清单来评估所审查数据的质量。共提取并评估了35项相关研究。在大多数研究中，儿童烧伤男性患者的发病率高于女性患者，每10万名儿童中男性比女性多9.5至50例。儿童烧伤死亡率在1.7%至18.5%之间。儿童烧伤最常见的原因是热水或其他热液。城市地区的儿童烧伤发生率更高，且儿童烧伤病例数最多的发生地点是在家中。烧伤被视为与儿童健康相关的主要事件之一，需要制定计划以降低其发生率，特别是在低年龄组以及更活跃且更容易烧伤的男性患者中。
