“…But many studies noted more incidence in male or equal incidence [1,2,4,5,6,8] in this region of Indian pupils give less importance to female as compared to male so level of care and observation get low in female that may be the cause of high incidence in female In our study, scalds were the main cause of burn in the majority of patients, similar to other studies. [1,2,4,5,6,7,8,9] Flame burn is the second most common cause of pediatric burn injury. Flame burns are generally caused by chimni (homemade lamp,), choola and other open fires.…”

“…Electric burn and chemical burns were also seen. The rate of electric and chemical burn were lower when compared to other studies in literature [2,10,11] All burns were accidental.

“…Burn is described as one of the leading causes of injury throughout the world, and is one of the most frequent causes of hospitalization. Burn is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, and it is the fourth most common type of trauma worldwide [1,2] . Burn is a major issue on public health in terms of infection control and cost of treatment in both developing and developed countries, and burn in pediatric range from minor to severe injuries.…”

“…Burn is a major issue on public health in terms of infection control and cost of treatment in both developing and developed countries, and burn in pediatric range from minor to severe injuries. Burns from hot drinks, food, steam, or other hot liquids are common causes of burn injuries to young children compared to other burn injuries [2] . Therefore, it is important to educate parents, make them aware of the potential danger in the home environment and how to prevent common burn accidents.…”

Background: Burns in children are reported to be amongst the most prevalent traumatic injuries around the world, most of which occurring in accidental domestic environment, that are preventable. With this study, we aim to suggest measures that may be taken to prevent burns in children. Methods: Retrospective analysis of data of children with burns, up to 15 years of age, admitted to the Burns Unit of S.S. Medical College associated S.G.M. Hospital Rewa Madhya Pradesh, India during the study period of June 2014 to may 2015 was done. For the purpose of analysing, these children were divided into three groups based on their age. Results: A total of 129 pediatric burn cases were studied. Female children (51.93%) were more commonly affected. 93.02% burns were accidental in etiology. Scalds were the most common mode of injury in toddler age group (0-5 years). Overall mortality was 10.89% Conclusions: This study highlights the etiology and risk factors for burns in children of different age groups, which help in establishing safety measures that can be included in preventive programs. Through a combination of prevention strategies and improved burns care, considerable progress can be made not only in lowering the death rates, but also in achieving the goal of physical, social and psychological rehabilitation in pediatric burn patients.

Another factor contributing to the risk of these cylinders usually places it near the cooker equipment's inside the kitchen, especially in old buildings.…”

Burn injury is one of the most common and devastating forms of trauma and a major health problem of pediatric morbidity and mortality worldwide. The risk of infection in pediatric burns is well-known. An observational checklist was used by the researcher to assess the patients' characteristics and factors related to burn injury and infection from 1037 pediatric patients. The observational data collection showed that 56.5% of patients were males. The highest risk groups for burn injury are preschool stages. The most frequent places for burns were home 97.5%. The mechanism of burn includes scalds 72.5%, flame 22.8%, contact 2.1%, electrical 1.8%, chemical 0.8% and friction 0.2%. The prevalence of infection was 23.4%. Patients from flame burns more likely get infections 39.1% (p=0.001). Other factors associated with infection such as degree of burns, extent of body burn surface and length of hospital stay. Regarding etiology of scald burn injury, hot water is a predominant cause of burn injury 78.99%. There was a significant relation between Total Body Surface Area (TBSA) and mortality p<0.001. Patients with >40% of TBSA has a high proportion rate for death 55.7%. The majority of died patients caused by flame 65.6% and statistically highly significant P<0.001. Infection and inhalation injury are the main factors related to death 37.7% vs. 58.0%. From 748 positive samples, the most common found organism was MethicillinResistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) 34.2%, followed by Pseudomonas aerogenosa and Acienetobacter baumannii 16.7%, 16.4% respectively. Patients with greater mean TBSA and prolonged hospital stay more likely to get Gram-negative bacterial and fungal infections and highly statistically significant p<0.001. Many other studies are need to determine the epidemiology and factors related to microbiological infection among pediatric burn patients. Keywords: pediatric, burn patient, nosocomial infection, tbsa & mrsa MOJ Gerontology & Geriatrics Research ArticleOpen Access Source of organisms are found in the patient's own endogenous, from exogenous in the environment, and from healthcare personal or parents. The most common type of Nosocomial infections in burned children's is bloodstream infections, pneumonia, UTI, skin and surgical site infections. Organisms such as gram-negative bacteria, gram-positive bacteria, viral and yeast/fungal are the main causes of burn nosocomial infections. 16,17 Burn centers and burn hospitals should routinely determine and observe the specific pattern of burn microbial infection, time-related changes in the predominant microbial flora of the burn patient, the antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of microorganisms implicated in burn wound infections in a given time period, and trends in the nosocomial spread of these agents. Characteristics of burn injury and factors in relation to infection among pediatric patients 18,19 Methods Study design and settingThe study was conducted at Sulaimani Burn and Plastic Surgery Hospital, Kurdistan Region, Iraq.

This systematic review aimed to examine the caregivers' knowledge with burned children and related factors towards burn first aid. A comprehensive, systematic search was performed in different international electronic databases, such as Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and Persian electronic databases such as Iranmedex, and Scientific Information Database using keywords extracted from Medical Subject Headings such as “Knowledge”, “First aid”, “Caregiver”, “Burn”, and “Child” from the earliest to the December 1, 2022. The quality of the studies included in this systematic review was evaluated by using the appraisal tool for cross‐sectional studies (AXIS tool). A total of 11 763 caregivers of children with burns were enrolled in 14 studies. Of the participants, 78.81% were female and 41.15% had a university education. The mean score of caregivers' knowledge with burned children towards burn first aid was 51.44 out of 100. The knowledge of caregivers of burned children towards burn first aid had a significant positive relationship with the level of education, first aid training, age of caregivers, history of burn, number of children, monthly income, social status, and attitude. In addition, caregivers' knowledge had a significant negative relationship with the number of children. Furthermore, there was a significant relationship between caregivers' knowledge and level of education, monthly income, smoking, and previous knowledge of first aid. The level of caregivers' knowledge with burned children towards burn first aid was moderate. Therefore, health managers and policymakers can improve the knowledge of caregivers of burned children towards burn first aid by creating suitable platforms for face‐to‐face training as well as online training using websites.
