| description | Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the demographic
status of children with burn injuries who were referred to the emergency department of the
Sina hospital in Tabriz, Iran, in 2014. Methods: Total of 220 pediatric patients with burn
injuries, who referred to the emergency department of Sina hospital, were enrolled in this
prospective descriptive study. Data such as age, gender, type of injury, location of injury,
and severity of burns was collected, and analyzed using SPSS statistical software. Results:
Most patients were the first children of their families (61.8%). Two-year-old children had a
higher incidence of burn injuries (33.2%). Most of the burns (94.5%) occurred at home. The
most common cause of injury was hot liquids (74.5%). The position of the burn injuries in most
patients was the upper extremities (47.3%) and second-degree burn severity was more frequent
(70.5%). There were no significant statistical differences between the two genders regarding
cause, severity, percentage, and anatomical area of the burn.Conclusion: It is necessary to
design effective strategies to reduce the incidence of burn injuries in pediatric patients, so
that steps can be taken to reduce burn injuries and their complications. |
