The numbers of residents of the four counties in the west of Anglia and Oxford Region (UK) who were treated for burns (including scalds) in accident and emergency (A&E) departments or admitted to hospital in 1994-95 were obtained from A&E departments and district health authority records. Burns comprised about 1 per cent of the workload in the A&E departments. Using the data from district health authorities, the rate of admission with a main diagnosis of burns to any hospital was 0.14 per thousand population per year. Children under five had the highest rate of admission. Approximately half the patients admitted to hospital with burns were admitted to burns units, a quarter to plastic surgery wards and the rest to different specialties including trauma and orthopaedics, paediatrics, and ophthalmology. The median length of stay was 6 days for burns units and 3 days for plastic surgery units.
1994 - 1995年期间，从急诊部门和地区卫生当局记录中获取了英国安格利亚西部和牛津地区四个县在急诊部门接受烧伤（包括烫伤）治疗或住院的居民人数。烧伤病例约占急诊部门工作量的1%。根据地区卫生当局的数据，任何医院以烧伤为主诊断的住院率为每年每千人口0.14例。五岁以下儿童的住院率最高。因烧伤住院的患者中，约一半被收治到烧伤科，四分之一被收治到整形外科病房，其余则被收治到包括创伤与骨科、儿科和眼科等不同专科。烧伤科的中位住院时间为6天，整形外科病房为3天。
