Int J Burns Trauma. 2018 Feb 5;8(1):1-5. eCollection 2018.
To the best of our knowledge, pattern of burn injury was not reported yet at our region, our hospital considered the only tertiary referral center with the only burn unit at the region since 2001 till date, a retrospective analysis of our computerized filing system recorded 527 burn patients between 2001-2016, mean age was 26 years; 1.27:1 was the male to female ratio, 79 patients were found to have major burns, 46% of admissions were below 20 years' age, 92% was at domestic site of affection and 65% due to flame burn followed by scald burn in about 23%. The limbs were the most affected body site, majority of patients were below 15% TBSA and partial thickness, 77 patients found to have inhalational injury. Our mean hospital stay was 16 days and mortality was 8.2%. Mortality was associated with high TBSA affection, depth and flame type. This study shows the pattern of burn at north of Jordan, preventive measures by education and observation will reduce the incidence of burn and its sequel, non-flammable cook plates and stoves will probably help in decrease burn morbidity and mortality.
据我们所知，我们所在地区尚未报告过烧伤模式。自2001年至今，我们医院是该地区唯一的三级转诊中心且设有唯一的烧伤科。对我们的计算机存档系统进行的一项回顾性分析记录了2001年至2016年间的527例烧伤患者，平均年龄为26岁；男女比例为1.27:1，发现79例患者为重度烧伤，46%的入院患者年龄在20岁以下，92%的烧伤发生在家庭环境中，65%是火焰烧伤，其次约23%为烫伤。四肢是受影响最严重的身体部位，大多数患者烧伤面积低于15%体表总面积且为浅度烧伤，77例患者存在吸入性损伤。我们的平均住院时间为16天，死亡率为8.2%。死亡率与高体表总面积烧伤、深度烧伤和火焰烧伤类型相关。本研究显示了约旦北部的烧伤模式，通过教育和观察采取预防措施将降低烧伤及其后遗症的发生率，使用不易燃的炉灶可能有助于降低烧伤的发病率和死亡率。
