A retrospective review was carried out of all sunburn related attendances, during the periods 1/6/94-31/8/94 and 1/6/95-31/8/95, at the four A&E departments and at one of the general practices within the Northern Health and Social Services Board area. Four hundred and thirty patients had attended. The modal age group was 16-30 years. More males presented than females. Within the sexes more males presented in the under 16 years and over 30 years age group, while females were more common in the 16-30 years age group. There was documentation of blisters in 30% of patients. Those with blisters were more likely to be under 16 years and male. In females the most and least commonly affected areas correlated with the most and least commonly affected areas for cutaneous malignant melanoma. In these days of limited resources it is important to use epidemiological data such as this in order to contribute to the development of health promotion programmes and campaigns.
对1994年6月1日至1994年8月31日以及1995年6月1日至1995年8月31日期间，北部卫生和社会服务委员会辖区内的四个急诊科和一家普通诊所中所有与晒伤相关的就诊情况进行了回顾性研究。共有430名患者前来就诊。最常见的年龄组为16至30岁。男性就诊人数多于女性。在各性别中，16岁以下和30岁以上年龄组的男性就诊人数较多，而16至30岁年龄组中女性更为常见。30%的患者有水泡记录。有水泡的患者更可能是16岁以下的男性。在女性中，最常和最不常受影响的部位与皮肤恶性黑色素瘤最常和最不常受影响的部位相关。在资源有限的当今时代，利用此类流行病学数据对于促进健康促进计划和活动的发展非常重要。
