“…Burn injuries may vary depending on the socio-cultural and socio-economic status of the country in question although burn injuries are more common in male children under the age of four in all communities. 1 , 2 , 4 , 6 Similarly, in our study, burn injuries were found to be common particularly in male children aged 2–4 years although no statistically significant difference was found in terms of age and sex (p> 0.05).…”

Objective:Burn injuries are one of the most significant threats to life in both undeveloped and developing countries. In this study, we evaluate the demographic characteristics and treatment methods in pediatric burn cases admitted to our clinic.Methods:A total of 960 patients aged 0–16 years old who were referred to our center with burn injuries between 2015 and 2016 were analyzed in terms of sex, age, etiology, epidemiology, burn percentage, the degree of burn, hospitalization duration, morbidity-mortality, and treatment methods.Results:In the present study, 512 male and 448 female patients were included. Burns were seen mostly among the patients aged 2–4, and the majority of them were extremity burns. The mean hospitalization duration was 10±6.7 days, and the most common source of burn injury was from hot liquids.Conclusion:Burn injuries are a pediatric emergency that needs to be emphasized to reduce occurrences due to the long hospitalization period, the unfavorable mortality and morbidity rates, and increased treatment costs. It is possible to obtain more positive results by way of a standard and easily applicable treatment algorithm in cases of burn injury.

“…All the burn injuries during the lockdown period occurred at home or in the immediate neighborhood. This hypothesis is especially plausible because the main cause of burn injury was scalding, as is typically the case in domestic accidents experienced by children [1] , [2] , [3] , [5] , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] . The higher number of burns at home could be explained by a lack of watching over their child by their teleworking parents.…”

Background Child burns rank among the most frequent domestic accidents in France. COVID-19 lockdown between March 16th and May 11th of 2020 increased time spent at home by children. Material This retrospective, observational study described the epidemiological impact of COVID-19 lockdown on child burns in a pediatric surgery department compared with previous five years. Child burns in the previous five years constituted the “before COVID-19 group” as the reference group. Child burns during the first lockdown formed the “COVID-19 group”. Demographics characteristics, the delay before first attendance at the surgery department, burns characteristics, the place of the incident, need of skin graft, and child reactions to trauma or isolation were recorded for these two groups. Results A total of thirty-seven children were included, 16 of them in the COVID-19 group. In the COVID-19 group, burned children were mainly boys, with a median age of 18 months. The median time before first attendance was four days. Main burns characteristics were to be deep partial thickness burns, involved lower limbs, caused by scalding. All burns occurred at home. Half parents reported child reactions to trauma or isolation among their children before burn injury. Conclusion The incidence of child burn injuries in the COVID-19 group was higher compared to the before COVID-19 group, but no increased delay to attendance recorded. Time spent at home and psychosocial impact of lockdown might partially explain this high incidence rate of child burns. Level of evidence IV.

“…Children are at greatest risk and sustain burns in preventable home accidents 7 . Children are the most vulnerable because they have less perception about jeopardy and inadequate ability to react appropriately 8,9 . In Somalia, there are burn injuries as a result of fire disasters on roads, in supermarkets, industries and schools as a result of accidents and in some occasions and unfortunately most of them lead to arson attacks or riots.…”

Background : Burns are among the most devastating forms of trauma, and also the most common typesof injury affecting children in home environment. There are a major cause of morbidity and mortality all over the world for both children and adults,especiallyfor developing countries like Somalia because of inadequate medical treatment.Objective: The main objective is to gain knowledge, attitude andpractice towards burn patients admitted to Madina Hospital between October 2017 and October 2018.Methods: Throughout the study,researchers utilized both quantitative and qualitativemethods of data collection which were achieved from patients included in the study. A briefintroduction was made to the respondents before distributing the questionnaires with the explanation about thesignificance of the study.Results: 404 participants had been included in the study of which were divided into two groups such as ‘case’ (n=202) and ‘control’ (n=202) groups of each having equal number of patients. Burn injuries had beenfound most frequent in children less than 4 years of age (42.6%), and secondlyingadults between 20 and 40 years of age (38.6%). The male-female ratio had been found similar. Significant risk factors regarding burn injuries were such as; low level of education (OR=2.32, 95% CI: 1.28- 4.22, p<0.005),kerosene usage for cooking (OR=1.935; 95% CI:1.303–2.874, p<0.005) and lack of knowledgeconsideringprevention andsafety (OR=1.885, 5% CI:1.559-2.279, p<0.005).Conclusion: Ways of tackling the hazards posed by fire and othercauses of burns in homes, institutions and all work places should be taught in primary, secondary and tertiary levels of education. Low level of education as a risk factor for burns is a complex issue involving communities, non-governmental organizations and government. Theministry of education should incorporatehealth education in the curriculum of primary and secondary schools.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 03 No. 04 October’19 Page : 218-222
