“…The most common agents are scalding liquids (65%) followed by flames (15-23%). [4,[7][8][9] In our study, the most frequent burn cause was found to be scalding, followed by flame burns, tandir burns and electricity burns.…”

AMAÇİki ayrı yanık tedavi merkezinde tandıra düşme sonucu yanık oluşan hastaların demografik özellikleri, enfeksiyon oranları ve mobidite oranları tedavi yöntemleri ile birlikte incelendi. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEMBu çalışmada yanıklı hastaların yaş, cinsiyet, sosyoekonomik durum, toplam vücut yüzey yanık oranları, yanık bölge-leri, yanık yaralarından izole edilen mikroorganizmalar, tedavi yöntemleri, hastanede kalma süreleri, hastalara uygulanan debridman ve greft operasyonları, ekstremite amputasyonları ile yanık hastalarının mortaliteleri araştırıldı. BULGULARBu iki merkezde tedavi edilen tandır yanıklı hastaların ortalama hastanede kalma süresi 27,6±9,5 gün idi. Buna karşın tandır dışı yanıklı hastaların ortalama hastanede kalma süresi ise 16,5±12,5 gün idi. Bu iki grup arasında hastanede kalma sü-releri arasında anlamlı derecede farklılık saptandı (p<0,001). Benzer şekilde tandır yanıklı hastaların toplam yanık yüzey alan ortalaması %17,4±12,3 iken tandır dışı yanıklı hastaların toplam yanık yüzey alan ortalaması %10,6±9,9 idi ve gruplar arasındaki fark anlamlı idi (p<0,001). SONUÇBu çalışma sırasında tandır yanıklarının diğer yanıklardan daha derin yanık oluşturduğunu ve hastanede kalma süresi-nin de diğer yanık türlerinden daha uzun olduğu sonucuna ulaştık. Yine cerrahi girişimlerin tandır yanıklı hastalarda diğer yanıklı hastalara göre daha fazla yapıldığını tespit ettik.

“…This is attributed not only to advancements in the organisation, delivery and practice of burn care but also targeted efforts to prevent injuries [8]. Despite this the epidemiology of burn injury remains poorly described and a review of the published literature contains many examples of ''epidemiological'' studies that usually describe the experience of single burn centres [36][37][38][39][40]. These descriptions have proved useful for highlighting certain patterns of injury that could be the target of prevention strategies but fall short of presenting the entirety of the problem in the context of an at-risk population.…”

“…Over 2600 bath water scalds occur each year in the UK 4. Young children are at particular risk; more than 400 children under 5 years of age are admitted to hospital each year, and most hospital4 and paediatric burns centre admissions5 for bath water scalds occur in this age group, as do the most severe scalds 4. Social inequalities also exist, with admission rates for burns and scalds being over three times higher among children from disadvantaged areas compared with those from affluent areas 6…”

Preventing bath water scalds: a cost-effectiveness analysis of introducing bath thermostatic mixer valves in social housing

et al. 2011

Aims To assess the cost-effectiveness of installing thermostatic mixer valves (TMVs) in reducing risks of bath water scalds and estimate the costs of avoiding bath water scalds. Methods The evaluation was undertaken from the perspective of the UK public sector, and conducted in conjunction with a randomised control trial of TMVs installed in social housing in Glasgow. Installation costs were borne by the social housing organisation, while support materials were provided by the UK NHS. Effectiveness was represented by the number of families with at-risk bath water temperatures pre-and post-installation, and the number of bath scalds avoided as a result of installation. Differences in the number of families with at-risk temperatures between groups were derived from the RCT. Cost-effectiveness was assessed and a series of one-way sensitivity analyses were conducted. Results Unit costs associated with installation were calculated to be £13.68, while costs associated with treating bath water scalds ranged from £25 226 to £71 902. The cost of an avoided bath water scald ranged from net savings to public purse of £1887 to £75 520 and at baseline produced a net saving of £3 229 008; that is, £1.41 saved for every £1 spent. Conclusion It is very likely that installing TMVs as standard in social housing in new buildings and major refurbishments accompanied by educational information represents value for money. Trial registration number ISRCTN:21179067.
