The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics and influence of gender difference on the outcome of adolescent burns. A retrospective study was conducted on 641 burn patients (10 - 19 years old) admitted to the Viet Nam National Burn Hospital over a three-year period (2016 - 2018). Demographic data, burn features and outcome including complications, length of hospital stay and mortality of male and female groups were compared. The results indicated that adolescents accounted for 6.5% of total admitted burn patients, with a predominance of males (69.3%). Higher proportions of burn due to dry heat (flame or hot surface contact) and electricity were seen in the male group (p < .001). No significant differences were seen between male and female groups in terms of age, admission time, season of burn and burn severity. Compared to females, males experienced more surgical interventions and stayed longer in hospital with higher LA50 (71.2% vs. 56.5% TBSA). It is necessary to conduct prevention and intervention to improve the outcome of adolescent burns, especially for female patients.
本研究旨在调查青少年烧伤结局的性别差异特征及其影响。对越南国家烧伤医院在三年期间（2016 - 2018年）收治的641例10 - 19岁烧伤患者进行了回顾性研究。比较了男性和女性组的人口统计学数据、烧伤特征以及结局，包括并发症、住院时间和死亡率。结果表明，青少年占烧伤住院患者总数的6.5%，男性占主导（69.3%）。男性组因干热（火焰或热表面接触）和电导致烧伤的比例更高（p <.001）。在年龄、入院时间、烧伤季节和烧伤严重程度方面，男性和女性组之间未见显著差异。与女性相比，男性接受了更多的手术干预，住院时间更长，LA50更高（71.2% 对56.5% 体表面积）。有必要开展预防和干预措施以改善青少年烧伤的结局，尤其是女性患者。
