“…Among our representative sample, 39.3% of the parents stated that the number of accidents in their home increased, and 37.1% of households faced a serious or minor accident. Similar results were found in another study in Greece and in other countries in which there was a comparison of indoor accidents in children in the 3-month period during the lockdown versus the same period in 2019 [ 17 , 18 , 24 , 25 ]. The most frequent accidents in our study were injuries (49.3%), followed by falls (29.6%), which is similar to another study [ 26 ].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic and stay-at-home regulations have increased child home injuries. This study illustrates the type and frequency of child home injuries in Greece during the COVID-19 lockdown. Moreover, the survey reports the results on parents’ proposals regarding child injuries at home during the COVID-19 quarantine. A community-based, cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted from November to December 2021 in Greece. Parents were asked to voluntarily complete an anonymous questionnaire, designed for the needs of the research. A statistical analysis of the data was performed using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov and Shapiro–Wilk tests for a normal distribution, a chi-squared (χ2) test to compare percentages among different groups and a non-parametric Mann–Whitney U test to determine the differences in Likert scale variables between two groups. A total of 130 parents with at least one child were questioned through an online questionnaire survey. Of the parents, 39.3%, stated that the number of accidents in their home increased. The most frequent accidents were injuries (49.3%). Most of the accidents occurred inside the house (75.8%) and were observed among children aged 0–4 years. A high percentage of children’s accidents was observed in rural/island areas or in the suburbs. Children who were with either their father or mother had one accident, and a higher number of accidents occurred when the children were with their grandparents, with the nanny or alone. For those parents who had difficulty supervising their child, child accidents increased compared to parents who had the ability to supervise. It was noticed that parents who knew how to provide a safe home stated that the number of accidents remained the same. Parents must organize a safer home. Authorities should educate parents on child injury prevention and provide them with financial facilities to provide a safer house.

“…In a comparative study examining the "COVID-19 stay-at-home epoch" relative to the 5 years pre-COVID-19, Sanford et al 58 found burn injury admissions at a pediatric hospital to increase, mostly flame burns to White patients. Teams from French, 59 Brazilian, 60 and Romanian 61 hospitals noted a similar increase in pediatric burn patients. At a Spanish burn hospital, the authors found an increase in pediatric surgeries as well as intensive care unit admissions during the height of the pandemic from March to May 2020 compared with the months that followed.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the healthcare system to adopt novel strategies to treat patients. Pediatric plastic surgeons are uniquely exposed to high rates of infections during examinations and surgeries via aerosol-generating procedures, in part because of the predilection of viral particles for the nasal cavities and pharynx. Telemedicine has emerged as a useful virtual medium for encouraging prolonged patient follow-up while maintaining physical distance. It has proven beneficial in mitigating infection risks while decreasing the financial burden on patients, their families, and healthcare teams. New trends driven by the pandemic added multiple elements to the patient-physician relationship and have left a lasting impact on the field of pediatric plastic surgery in clinical guidelines, surgical care, and patient outcomes. Lessons learned help inform pediatric plastic surgeons on how to reduce future viral infection risk and lead a more appropriately efficient surgical team depending on early triage.

“…The majority of studies surrounding paediatric burns during COVID-19 do not mention patterns in the body area affected by burn injury. A French Burns Unit observed statistically significant increases in hand and lower limb burns in a COVID-19 population [72], while one Israeli study noted that the upper limb was the most common body part injured, with no change during the pandemic [63].…”

Burns in children remain a prominent mode of injury, resulting in considerable morbidity and mortality globally and are a key cause of disability-adjusted life-years. Paediatric burns present a unique challenge, in part due to the developmental, physical and emotional differences between adults and children. Those living in low- and middle-income settings are particularly vulnerable, facing problems such as overcrowding and floor-level cooking. During the COVID-19 pandemic, stay at home orders and the closure of schools and childcare changed the pattern of paediatric injury across the world, resulting in a general increase in trauma-related presentations. This review will examine recent global trends in paediatric burns, including the impact of COVID-19, specifically focusing on the pattern of burn aetiology over the past decade. It will also look at any changes with regard to epidemiological characteristics; burn site, severity and extent; first aid and location; and management and outcomes.
