The incidence of serious burn injuries has been determined for the Commonwealth of Virginia during a 21 month period. The data set included all patients with burn injuries who entered the hospital and were considered to be in serious enough condition to require treatment in a hospital. The risk for burn injury was calculated by age, race and sex. Examination of the date revealed large differences in the magnitude of age-specific incidence rates between men and women and the white and nonwhite population. Differences in the economic status of the population may explain a large proportion of the variation in the crude burn rates.
已确定弗吉尼亚州在21个月期间严重烧伤的发生率。数据集包括所有因烧伤入院且被认为病情严重到需要住院治疗的患者。按年龄、种族和性别计算烧伤风险。对数据的审查显示，男性与女性以及白人和非白人人群之间特定年龄发病率的幅度存在很大差异。人群经济状况的差异可能解释了粗烧伤率差异的很大一部分。
