The AA studied the distribution of age, sex, aetiology, and destiny of the 173 in-patients at the S. João Hospital (Central hospital that has no Burn Unit). In what concerns age, 38.1% are children less than 10 years old; the male/female ratio was 1.7:1. The fire and scalds are the most important aetiology. These findings are similar to those found in other countries (except in the Arabian Countries). Of these 99 burn patients have been treated in S. João Hospital, 71 patients were sent to the Burn Unit of Prelada Hospital and 3 to the Burn Unit of Coimbra University Hospital. These findings were compared to a Burn Unit of a Spanish Hospital (Alicante) which has 18 beds for adults and children, normally interning 132 patients per year. As the WHO suggest one special bed per 30,000 persons, we should be expected to have at least 110 beds for burn patients (we only have 9 beds at Prelada Hospital), the AA suggest the establishment of a Burn Unit at S. João Hospital, also due to the fact that is the only hospital that has a permanent emergency care for Plastic Surgery.
AA研究了圣若昂医院（一家没有烧伤科的中心医院）173名住院患者的年龄、性别、病因及转归情况。在年龄方面，38.1%为10岁以下儿童；男女比例为1.7:1。火灾和烫伤是最重要的病因。这些发现与其他国家（阿拉伯国家除外）的情况相似。在这173名烧伤患者中，99名在圣若昂医院接受治疗，71名患者被送往普拉拉达医院烧伤科，3名被送往科英布拉大学医院烧伤科。这些发现与一家西班牙医院（阿利坎特）的烧伤科进行了比较，该烧伤科有18张成人和儿童病床，每年通常收治132名患者。按照世界卫生组织每3万人设一张专用病床的建议，我们预计应为烧伤患者至少配备110张病床（普拉拉达医院只有9张病床），AA建议在圣若昂医院设立一个烧伤科，这也是因为它是唯一一家设有整形外科永久急诊护理的医院。
