Burn is one of the major global health problem causing trauma and stress. A burn injury can cause functional impairment and psychosocial burdens affecting the quality of life. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the life quality after skin burn and patients' satisfaction on skin grafting outcomes in Saudi Arabia.
In this cross-sectional community-based survey included 166 participants. Each participant was interviewed using a purposeful questionnaire.
The highest incidence of skin burn cases were recorded among female participants (n=133) compared to males (n=33). The highest cause of burn injury was scald (46.4%) and the highest injured parts were hands across all age groups (n=89). Multiple logistic regression models for different parts of skin burn patients showed highly significant values for hands ( < 0.001), CI, 0.181 (0.103-0.259). The maximum injury took place at home (88%). The majority of burns were scald and flame injuries (46.4% and 36.1%). Majority of patients had burns of 0-10% TBSA which is about 62.0% ( < 0.002, =0.289). The mean DLQI scores ranged from < 1 to 27.
Skin burns are common in Saudi Arabia and more prevalent among females. Most skin burns occur at home and the most causative agent is hot water predominantly affecting hands. The majority of burns are treated using topical creams, and only some of them undergo skin grafting. There is a relatively higher degree of acceptance of skin burns treatment outcomes among the Saudi population.
烧伤是导致创伤和压力的主要全球健康问题之一。烧伤会导致功能障碍和心理社会负担，影响生活质量。本研究的目的是评估沙特阿拉伯皮肤烧伤后的生活质量以及患者对皮肤移植结果的满意度。
在这项基于社区的横断面调查中，纳入了166名参与者。使用有针对性的问卷对每位参与者进行访谈。
与男性参与者（n = 33）相比，女性参与者（n = 133）中记录的皮肤烧伤病例发生率最高。烧伤的最主要原因是烫伤（46.4%），在所有年龄组中，受伤最多的部位是手部（n = 89）。针对皮肤烧伤患者不同部位的多元逻辑回归模型显示，手部的数值具有高度显著性（<0.001），置信区间为0.181（0.103 - 0.259）。最大伤害发生在家中（88%）。大多数烧伤是烫伤和火焰伤（46.4%和36.1%）。大多数患者的烧伤面积为0 - 10%体表面积，约占62.0%（<0.002，=0.289）。平均皮肤病生活质量指数（DLQI）得分范围为<1至27。
皮肤烧伤在沙特阿拉伯很常见，在女性中更为普遍。大多数皮肤烧伤发生在家中，最主要的致病因素是热水，主要影响手部。大多数烧伤使用外用乳膏治疗，只有一些患者接受皮肤移植。沙特人群对皮肤烧伤治疗结果的接受程度相对较高。
