Abstract:Introduction
Pediatric burns are typically accidental, but burns caused by caregiver abuse/neglect represent a significant proportion of patients. Literature on risk factors most associated with these injuries include younger age, male, African American, and larger burns. This study examined child and burn injury factors that were associated with Child Protective Services (CPS) involvement at an urban, academic children’s hospital.
