Burns. 1995 Jun;21(4):291-6. doi: 10.1016/0305-4179(94)00001-e.
Burns are frequent in Côte d'Ivoire with about 700 cases yearly registered in the three Teaching Hospitals of Abidjan (Yopougon, Treichville and Cocody). Unfortunately, no specialized substructure is equipped for treating these patients in the country. The aim of the retrospective study carried out during 1993 in the Burns Care Unit of the Teaching Hospital of Cocody is to illustrate the epidemiology of burns in a poorly developed country in West Africa. Faced with many problems and especially a lack of space, the burns care unit is fighting to become a burns centre, which may become functional in 1995. Regarding studies from other countries, the results from our service are comparable to those obtained in poorly developed countries, they are different from those notified in countries with a higher socioeconomic level where substructures and financial means allow more appropriate care. The Abidjan Burns Centre aims to improve the current preventive activities and to provide burned people with the best possible care.
在科特迪瓦，烧伤情况频发，阿比让的三家教学医院（约普贡、特雷什维尔和科科迪）每年登记的病例约有700例。遗憾的是，该国没有专门的机构来治疗这些患者。1993年在科科迪教学医院烧伤护理病房开展的这项回顾性研究，旨在阐明西非一个欠发达国家的烧伤流行病学情况。面对诸多问题，尤其是空间不足的问题，烧伤护理病房正在努力成为一个烧伤中心，该中心可能在1995年开始运作。与其他国家的研究相比，我们科室的结果与欠发达国家的结果相当，与社会经济水平较高、有相应机构和资金手段能提供更妥善护理的国家所报告的结果不同。阿比让烧伤中心旨在改进当前的预防工作，并为烧伤患者提供尽可能最佳的护理。
