摘要：

Pediatric burns are frequently observed: twenty-year burn analysis was performed in a single department, and 354 cases, aged 0-6 years old. The major cause of pediatric burns was scalding (68%) and hot water comprised over half of the scald burns. At I year old and younger, the total burn surface area (TBSA) was significantly smaller than from I to 6 years old (4.8 +/- 9.56 versus 10.5 +/- 18.86%, respectively, p < 0.001). TBSA of scald burns was significantly greater than contact burns (8.9 +/- 15.76 versus 0.9 +/- 2.0%, respectively, p < 0.05). Surgery was performed for 65 patients (18%) and 126 patients were hospitalized (34%). Compared to the first decade of analysis, the second decade had fewer patients (222 versus 142 cases) and lower severity (7.4 +/- 14.6% versus 6.6 +/- 13.26%, TBSA). Pediatric burns in younger children should be studied closely as to their causes and with further follow-up. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd and ISBI. All rights reserved.
