“…The mortality of hospitalized burn patients in developing countries, except China, is inconsistent, but overall, it is significantly higher than that in developed countries. Statistics indicate that the fatality rate of hospitalized burn patients ranges from 25.9-43.9% in Iran to 28.4% in Kuwait, 33.5% in Turkey, 27% in Sri Lanka, 7.4% in Saudi Arabia, 16% in Afghanistan, 19.7% in India and 62% in Pakistan (19,20). According to recent statistics from a Turkish study, the overall fatality rate of 2,713 burn patients admitted to their unit was only 0.9% (19).…”

In 2000, the burn-associated mortalities was ~1.36/10 million for males and 1.28/10 million for females (20).…”

Burns are tissue injuries caused by high temperature, chemicals or electricity. Severe burns may involve all of the organs and tissues of the human body, leading to a series of pathophysiological processes and even death. The present study reviewed the clinical data of burn patients, including cases of burn-associated death, to provide evidence for the strategy of burn prevention. Basic information from 13,205 inpatients treated between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2016 was extracted from the database of the Institute of Burn Research at Southwest Hospital (Chongqing, China). After excluding 3,426 inpatients who were not primarily treated for burns, 9,779 patients remained; among them, 68 cases (0.7%) had died as a direct consequence of the burns. Based on baseline data, the mortality rate, total body surface area of the burn (TBSA), age, sex, cause of injury and complications were analysed. In general, males accounted for a higher percentage than female burn patients. Of the patients, 95.54% had a TBSA of <50%, and the rate of mortality of the patients was increased when the TBSA was ≥50%. The major causes of injury were scalds (41.60%), fire (26.92%) and electricity (15.29%), and the majority of victims were 14 years or younger. With improvements in burn treatment technology in recent years, burn patient mortality was significantly reduced. Complications, including multiple organ failure and severe systemic infection, may reduce the survival rate of patients. The major risk factors for death included burns resulting from explosions, as well as shock, age (aged 0-1 or ≥50 years), greater TBSA and full-thickness burn area. With increasing length of stay at the hospital, patient mortality decreased. The renewal of treatment concepts and refined patient management contributed to the shorter LOS and lower mortality in 2015 and 2016.

“…First of all, a collection of data about these burn injuries in society is crucial for the production of ways of management of these burns. Our country as a developing country demands individual efforts on burn injuries; so in recent years, there are several studies about the burn epidemiology and the management of statistical data (15)(16)(17). Our study consisting of 4745 patients is one of the most extensive series presented in our country.…”

Yanık yaralanması dünya çapında tıbbi, psikolojik ve ekonomik etkileri olan ciddi bir sorundur. Endüstri ve teknolojinin gelişmesine paralel olarak yanık olgu sayısında ve çeşitliliğinde artış olmuştur. Yanık sadece yerel bir yaralanma olmayıp özellikle yanık yüzey alanı ve derinliği arttıkça tüm organizmayı etkileyen sistemik bir travmadır (1). Ayrıca yaralanmanın mekanizması, bölgesi, ek hastalık, metabolik koşullar ve oluşabilecek enfeksiyonlar gibi nedenler prognozu kötüleştirerek çoklu organ yetmezliği hatta ölüme sebep olabilir (2). Uzun dönemli tedavi, rehabilitasyon ve tekrarlayan operasyonlar gerektirmesi nedeni ile yanık tedavisinin maliyeti yüksektir (3). İlaveten sakatlık ve ölüme neden olabilen bu yaralanma çoğu zaman basit tedbirlerin ÖZET Amaç: Yanık Ünitemize ilimiz ve civar illerden başvuran olguların retrospektif olarak incelenmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Nisan 2013-Aralık 2018 yılları arasında 69 aylık dönemde Yanık Tedavi Ünitemizde yatarak tedavi gören 667 hasta yaş, cinsiyet, etiyolojik neden, toplam yanık yüzey alanı, hastanede kalış süreleri, yatış zamanları, yara kültür sonuçları, yapılan ameliyatlar ve mortalite açısından retrospektif olarak incelendi. Bulgular: Tüm hastaların yaş ortalaması 15,2 (0-86 yaş) olarak bulundu. En sık 0-12 yaş pediyatrik grupta (421, % 63.1), ikinci olarak 19-59 yaş yetişkin grupta (184, %27.5) yanık travması olduğu tespit edildi. Hastanemize başvuran 398 (% 59.7) erkek hasta, 269 (% 40.3) kadın hasta tedavi edildi. En sık etiyolojik nedenin % 65.6 (438 olgu) oranında haşlanarak yaralanma, ikincil olarak % 16.3 (109 olgu) alevle yanarak yaralanma olduğu görüldü. Pediyatrik yaş grubu en sık haşlanarak (% 83.8), yetişkin grubu ise en sık (% 34.7) alevle yanarak yaralandı. Sonuç: Yanık travmalarının büyük bir çoğunluğunun basit tedbirlerin alınması, iş güvenliği kurallarına uyulması ve özellikle çocukların yanığa neden olan etkenlerden uzak tutulmasıyla önlenebilir olduğu görüldü. Fiziksel ve psikolojik sekellere yol açmasından ölüme kadar sonuçları olan ilaveten tedavi giderlerinin yüksek olması nedeni ile verilecek eğitimlerle yanık travmalarının sayısının en aza indirilebileceği sonucuna varıldı.
