Previous studies about burns mortality are often exclusively based on hospital and burn centre data. National population-based reports on this topic are rather limited. The aim of this study was to analyse sex- and age-specific mortality rates of burns in Spain during the period 1979-2018.
Age-standardised burns mortality rates were calculated from death records and mid-year population data were provided by the Spanish National Statistics Institute. Joinpoint regression analyses were used to identify significant points of change in trends over time and to compute average annual per cent change (AAPC). Age, period and cohort effects were also analysed.
Mortality due to burn injury decreased in both sexes between 1979 and 2018: from the first quinquennium of this period up to the last one age-adjusted mortality rates decreased from 1.37 to 0.49 per 100,000 in men and from 0.96 to 0.26 per 100,000 in women.
Burns mortality rates in Spain have been decreasing during the last decades. Promotion of primary prevention measures should continue.
之前关于烧伤死亡率的研究通常仅基于医院和烧伤中心的数据。关于这个主题的全国性人口报告相当有限。本研究的目的是分析 1979 年至 2018 年期间西班牙烧伤的性别和年龄特异性死亡率。
从死亡记录中计算了年龄标准化烧伤死亡率，并且由西班牙国家统计局提供了年中人口数据。使用 Joinpoint 回归分析来确定趋势随时间变化的显著变化点，并计算平均每年百分比变化（AAPC）。还分析了年龄、时期和队列效应。
1979 年至 2018 年间，两性因烧伤导致的死亡率均有所下降：在这一时期的前五个五年期间，男性的年龄调整死亡率从每 100,000 人 1.37 人下降到最后一个五年期间的 0.49 人，女性的年龄调整死亡率从每 100,000 人 0.96 人下降到 0.26 人。
在过去几十年中，西班牙的烧伤死亡率一直在下降。应继续推广初级预防措施。
