摘要
One hundred and seventy-six patients aged 65 years and above, treated in Bangour Burns Unit during a 10-year period between 1982 and 1991 were studied in detail. Annual number of burn cases treated as inpatients in the South East of Scotland, within or outwith the Bangour bums unit, and all deaths due to bums, during the period from 1975 to 1991, among the estimated population were analysed to assess the trend in incidence and rates of bums in elderly persons in the community.
