“…However, 15 studies from 10 countries (Australia, Austria, Bulgaria, Chile, China, Germany, Israel, the Netherlands, Taiwan and the United States) reported a decrease of injury severity [9,13,15,16,19,20,24,27,30,32,33,38,46,51,52]. In 2 studies, one from Canada [29] and one from China [31], no trends of burn severity have been observed.…”

Burn injuries have been more prevalent among low socioeconomic populations and in less developed regions. Incredible advances in burn care and social development over the recent decades, however, should have placed the incidence and severity of burns in a downwards trend. The aim of this review was to give an overview on current trends in burn epidemiology across the world. Also the socioeconomic development in countries that have published epidemiological data used in this study has been taken into account when comparing the results. There was a worldwide downwards trend of burn incidence, burn severity, length of hospital stay, and mortality rate. These findings were particularly pronounced in very highly developed countries. Data from highly and medium developed countries were more heterogeneous. No studies could be obtained from low developed countries. Comparisons between the different studies were compromised by the fact that studies emerged from specialized facilities on one hand and general hospitals on the other. Analyzed studies were also frequently focusing on limited patient populations such as “children” or “elderly”. Our findings indicate the need for an international burn database with a minimal data-set in order to obtain objective and comparable results in respect of burn epidemiology.

“…De acuerdo con estadísticas del establecimiento, a partir de 2006, se ha observado un aumento de quemaduras por objetos calientes como agente causal 16 . En revisión de literatura para los años 2011-12, en estudios realizados en menores de 15 años hospitalizados, las quemaduras por escaldaduras varían entre 84,3% (Shangai) 18 y 48,4% (USA) 19 . Sin embargo, Abeyasundara SL (Australia 2011) 20 confirma que ha habido un cambio en el patrón histórico de quemaduras pediátricas, debido al aumento consistente anual de quemaduras por objeto caliente.…”

epidemiology of burns in children and adolescents from Chile's metropolitan region objective: To determine demographic, clinical and health care factors associated to prevalence of burns in children less than 20 years of age in the districts of Cerro Navia, Lo Prado and Pudahuel, and their comparison with incidence in 2011. patients and method: Population survey based on probability and two-stage stratified complex sample of households, registering 4,968 households. In 302 of them randomly selected, the mother/ adult present at the time of the injury took a survey. A questionnaire of 50 questions (20 minutes), created by 6 experts and previously validated, was conducted by 10 interviewers and 3 supervisors. People were contacted by telephone before visiting them at their homes. The non-response rate was 6%, after up to 3 home visits. results: Regarding prevalence, the male-to-female ratio was 1.16:1. Main reasons were hot objects (42.4%) and liquids (41.5%). 84.1% of burns occurred inside the home and in the afternoon (50.7%). 93.3% of the burns took place with an adult present. Hands were the most affected areas (46.7%). 30.2% were left with scars the first time of the accident. 34.4% of the burn victims did not require health care and 8.4% of them required hospitalizations. Over 60% of respondents reported that they poured cold water on the burn as a first step. Conclusion: Relevant information was obtained to be used in burn prevention in children and adolescents. Recall bias is the main limitation of the study.

“…Published literature on burn injuries indicates that children comprise a considerable proportion of burn admissions and the majority of those children are young. A Chinese study analysing 10 years burn admission data reports that 44% of all burn admission are to children and 70% of these children were younger than 3 years [2]. A study from several American states reports that 70% of childhood burn admissions were under five years of age [3].…”
