Errors in estimation of burn size are commonplace in community hospital emergency rooms. In 24 of 132 transfers to a burn center the extent of injury was overestimated at the transferring emergency room by 100% or more. This incorrect burn size estimation seems related to reliance on guesswork or use of the Rule of Nines. The incidence of error is greater in smaller burns.
在社区医院急诊室，烧伤面积估计错误很常见。在转至烧伤中心的132例患者中，有24例在转诊急诊室时损伤程度被高估了100%或更多。这种对烧伤面积的错误估计似乎与依赖猜测或使用九分法有关。较小面积烧伤的错误发生率更高。
