“…A greater percentage of body surface area in lower limb and perineum was involved in the current study estimated at 50% & 27.30% in the front and back respectively. This is higher than the 33.7% estimated by Millan et al [15].…”

“…Household liquid food items such as sambar and kanji were some of the etiologic agents of scalds. Furthermore, there were no reported cases of scalds due to non-accidental causes in this study [1,11,15].…”

“…Rimmer et al estimated the mean body surface area affected to be 8% in their study while Millan et al (2012) estimated it to be 10%. Marashi et al estimated the mean body surface area affected by burns in their study to be 12.29%± 21.18% [2,13,15,16]. This indicates that the pattern of pediatric scald injuries among the developing countries like India are much different from those in the developed countries.…”

Background: Scald injuries among children are a significant cause of mortality and morbidity. This is compounded by the additional risk factors such as poverty, higher birth order and urban slums which are seen in developing countries. But very few studies are available regarding the burden of this issue. This study seeks to assess the same. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital for one year.A total of 66 children less than 12 years of age were included. Their demographic profile and treatment outcome were studied. Results: Most participants were less than 10 years old and almost half had first degree burns. Hot water scalds were the most common etiology followed by household liquid foods such as sambar and kanji. Most burns affected the front of the body. Silver nitrodiazine was the most common treatment followed by collagen application and open dressing. After treatment 81.5% improved. The mortality was 16.7%. Conclusions: Scald injuries are a common cause of morbidity among young children. Most incidents occur at home and are preventable. This indicates the need for parental education and the child safety measures for reducing mortality and morbidity due to scalds.

“…These are most frequent among boys, aged up to four years old, in the home environment, mainly in the kitchen. [26][27][28] Generally speaking, the victims of burns result in a significant number of episodes of inpatient treatment, with rates of 18.1%, while those from falls reach close to 8%, and those from road traffic accidents, a little over 16%. 27 Children of school age are also exposed to risks for accidents due to burns.…”

“…27 Children of school age are also exposed to risks for accidents due to burns. One study 28 concluded that burns victims with the largest body surface area compromised were in the age range between 5 and 13 years old, mainly caused by the combustion of alcohol * . This finding is explained by the fact that, in this age range, children experience independence and autonomy, and gradually come into contact with flammable substances, fireworks, and electrical equipment, both inside and outside the house.…”

The results highlighted the main issues or health problems of urgent and emergency tool for modeling and possible application in the context of the School Health Program.

Functional independence in teenage patients with burns

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The purpose of this study was to assess the functional independence of teenagers undergoing a process of rehabilitation. A cross-sectional study was carried out on a sample of 63 teenagers, aged 12 to 20, who had suffered burns and were going through a process of rehabilitation, with the application of the Functional Independence Measurement (FIM). The data was analysed using descriptive statistics and also a test for comparison of means (Student's t-test), as well as Cronbach's reliability test. There was proof of a high degree of independence in FIM. Analysis of the location of the burn and also the performance of work and/or study activities showed these not to interfere with functional independence. The results indicate the reliability of the instruments applied, making it possible to conduct an assessment of the functional independence of the teenagers during the rehabilitation process.
