This knowledge could be used to develop preventive measures.This retrospective analysis included all patients (≥16 years old) with acute thermal injuries of known cause admitted to the adult emergency...
The epidemiological pattern of chemical burns varies widely in different areas of the world. To analyse effective preventive approaches, an insight into the pattern of injury is desirable. However, our data are only limited to Shanghai area, China.A 10-year retrospective review includes all patients with chemical burns admitted to the Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery from January 2001 to December...
To describe presentation characteristics of burn leading to death or hospital treatment (i.e. inpatient admissions and emergency department [ED] presentations) across the state of Victoria, Australia, for the years 2000–2006 inclusive.Data were provided by the Victorian Injury Surveillance Unit (VISU) from three different datasets pertaining to burn deaths, hospital inpatient admissions and non-admitted...
Trauma resulting from acute burns is relatively common and we wished to study the incidence, outcomes and factors related to mortality and hospital length of stay to identify potential areas of prevention and improve the care of burn-injured patients. To do so, we studied a population of adult burn injury patients from a large area of Canada (the Calgary Health Region (CHR) over a 10-year period....
The aim was to evaluate changes in patterns of injury and whether mortality rates have decreased.The database over 20 years from 1982 to 2002 and the 6 years 1997 to 2003 was studied.4523 admissions. 73.7% males, 26.3% females. Monthly and seasonal admissions showed little fluctuation. 52.8% in the 21–40 years age group, 19.7% under 20 years, 19.4% in the 41–60 years group and 8.1% over 60 years....
