A population-based study of all patients hospitalized for burns in a 2-year period was conducted in up-state New York. The objective was to provide data for setting burn injury prevention priorities and for formulating treatment facility plans. The incidence rate of hospitalization for burns was 27 per 100,000 population per year. The mean estimated size of the burn wounds was 9 percent of the body surface, and fewer than 10 percent of the patients had large wounds (more than 20 percent of the body). Burn patients were admitted to hospitals of all capabilities, including 89 percent of 223 hospitals. Substantial numbers of patients with large and deep wounds were treated in hospitals with little burn treatment experience. High-risk groups were the young, blacks, and males. Burn injuries occurring at work were common. Burn injuries resulting in hospitalization occurred less frequently, and the wounds were smaller in size than would have been expected based on reports in the literature.
在纽约州北部地区开展了一项针对两年内所有因烧伤住院患者的基于人群的研究。目的是为确定烧伤预防重点以及制定治疗设施计划提供数据。烧伤住院率为每年每10万人口27例。烧伤创面的平均估计面积为体表面积的9%，不到10%的患者有大面积创面（超过体表面积的20%）。烧伤患者被收治到各类医院，包括223家医院中的89%。大量有大面积深度创面的患者在烧伤治疗经验较少的医院接受治疗。高危人群为年轻人、黑人及男性。工作中发生的烧伤很常见。导致住院的烧伤发生率较低，且创面尺寸比文献报道预期的要小。
