Abstract:Introduction
Burn management is complex and outcomes depend on injury severity, timing of presentation, and specialized multidisciplinary care. Burn injuries among the homeless are an increasing problem in the United States (US) as record numbers of people are unsheltered and using unsafe heating practices. This study aims to characterize mechanism, demographic, and social factors related to burn injuries in homeless persons.
