Burn injuries are one of the most significant threats to life in both undeveloped and developing countries. In this study, we evaluate the demographic characteristics and treatment methods in pediatric burn cases admitted to our clinic.
A total of 960 patients aged 0-16 years old who were referred to our center with burn injuries between 2015 and 2016 were analyzed in terms of sex, age, etiology, epidemiology, burn percentage, the degree of burn, hospitalization duration, morbidity-mortality, and treatment methods.
In the present study, 512 male and 448 female patients were included. Burns were seen mostly among the patients aged 2-4, and the majority of them were extremity burns. The mean hospitalization duration was 10±6.7 days, and the most common source of burn injury was from hot liquids.
Burn injuries are a pediatric emergency that needs to be emphasized to reduce occurrences due to the long hospitalization period, the unfavorable mortality and morbidity rates, and increased treatment costs. It is possible to obtain more positive results by way of a standard and easily applicable treatment algorithm in cases of burn injury.
在不发达国家和发展中国家，烧伤都是对生命的重大威胁之一。在本研究中，我们评估了我院收治的小儿烧伤病例的人口统计学特征和治疗方法。
对2015年至2016年间因烧伤转诊至我院中心的960例0至16岁患者，从性别、年龄、病因、流行病学、烧伤面积、烧伤程度、住院时间、发病率-死亡率及治疗方法等方面进行分析。
本研究纳入了512例男性和448例女性患者。烧伤多见于2至4岁的患者，且大多数为四肢烧伤。平均住院时间为10±6.7天，最常见的烧伤源是热液。
由于住院时间长、死亡率和发病率不理想以及治疗成本增加，烧伤是一种需要强调以减少发生的儿科急症。在烧伤病例中，通过标准且易于应用的治疗方案有可能获得更积极的结果。
