A retrospective study was conducted into all the children admitted to a regional burns unit over a 6-year period. The whole childhood age group (up to 16 years of age) was examined epidemiologically. The study highlighted differences in the injuries and their acquisition, between the older children (10-16 years of age) and the younger children (up to 10 years of age). The study included data on the social background of the families, and points to the shortcomings of such retrospective material. Aspects of the epidemiology illustrated in the study are discussed with a view to their influence on programmes aimed at the prevention of such injuries to children.
对一家地区烧伤中心在6年期间收治的所有儿童进行了一项回顾性研究。对整个儿童年龄组（16岁及以下）进行了流行病学调查。该研究突出了年龄较大儿童（10 - 16岁）和年龄较小儿童（10岁及以下）在受伤情况及其成因方面的差异。该研究纳入了有关家庭社会背景的数据，并指出了此类回顾性资料的不足之处。针对该研究中所阐述的流行病学方面进行了讨论，以探讨其对旨在预防儿童此类伤害的项目的影响。
