Patients admitted for care of acute burns in Norway in 1992 were compared with patients in an earlier national survey in 1977. In 1992, 635 patients were admitted for acute burns in Norway, 20% less than in 1977. 8,975 hospital days were spent on care of acute burns, a 45% reduction compared with 1977. 58 patients (10% of all burn cases admitted to hospital) were referred to the National Burn Centre in Bergen. The number of deaths from fire and burn injury was similar to the number in 1977 (68 persons). Despite a moderate reduction in the total number of burns we found no evidence of a significant reduction in the number of severe burns. To achieve optimal functional and cosmetic results, extensive burns still deserve the special care offered in a regional Burn Centre.
对1992年挪威因急性烧伤入院治疗的患者与1977年该国早期全国性调查中的患者进行了比较。1992年，挪威有635名患者因急性烧伤入院，比1977年减少了20%。急性烧伤护理共花费8975个住院日，与1977年相比减少了45%。58名患者（占所有入院烧伤病例的10%）被转诊至卑尔根的国家烧伤中心。火灾和烧伤致死人数与1977年（68人）相近。尽管烧伤总数略有减少，但我们没有发现严重烧伤数量显著减少的证据。为了获得最佳的功能和美容效果，大面积烧伤仍值得在地区烧伤中心接受特殊护理。
