The incidence of minor burn injuries has been determined for the Commonwealth of Virginia during a 17-month period. The data set included all patients with burn injuries receiving treatment in the emergency department that did not require hospitalization. The risk of burn injury was calculated by age, race and sex. Examination of the data revealed large differences in the magnitude of age-specific incidence rates between men and women and the white and non-white population. Differences in the economic status of the population may explain a large proportion of the variation in the crude burn rates.
在17个月的时间里，已确定了弗吉尼亚联邦州轻度烧伤的发生率。该数据集包括所有在急诊科接受治疗且无需住院的烧伤患者。根据年龄、种族和性别计算烧伤风险。对数据的检查显示，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。人口经济状况的差异可能解释了粗略烧伤率差异的很大一部分。
