This study was conducted to examine the effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the epidemiological characteristics and causes of burns in patients admitted to burns services. A total of 629 patients who applied to the burn center of our hospital on March 11 to June 11, 2019, and March 11 to June 11, 2020, were included in this single-center, retrospective study. The demographic information of the patients, causes of burns, burn degrees, affected anatomical areas, admission times and burn surface areas were recorded retrospectively according to patient records. The findings of our study suggest that gender, age, causes of burns, affected anatomical areas and application times did not differ before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The number of cases has significantly decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic compared with that of the previous year. As a result, burn trauma is an emergency; it is preventable and cannot be ignored. The COVID-19 pandemic has had many effects on social, cultural and economic fields, as well as on the field of health.
本研究旨在探讨 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行对烧伤患者入院烧伤科的流行病学特征和烧伤原因的影响。对 2019 年 3 月 11 日至 6 月 11 日和 2020 年 3 月 11 日至 6 月 11 日期间向我院烧伤中心申请的 629 例患者进行了单中心回顾性研究。根据患者病历，回顾性记录患者的人口统计学信息、烧伤原因、烧伤程度、受累解剖区域、入院时间和烧伤面积。我们的研究结果表明，COVID-19 大流行前后，患者的性别、年龄、烧伤原因、受累解剖区域和应用时间无差异。与前一年相比，COVID-19 大流行期间的病例数明显减少。因此，烧伤创伤是一种急症；它是可以预防的，不容忽视。COVID-19 大流行对社会、文化和经济领域以及卫生领域都产生了许多影响。
