“…This is encouraging given the recognised disparities in burn incidence and first aid knowledge and use among those who are socioeconomically disadvantaged [26][27][28][29]. Some burn prevention campaigns have targeted these specific groups with mixed results [30,31].…”

“…Kiekvienoje šalyje nudegimų epidemiologiniai duomenys įvairuoja, tačiau kuo neturtingesnė šalis, tuo nudegimų traumos dažnesnės ir sunkesnės [2,3]. Nudegimų traumatizmas yra specifinis, išsiskiriantis iš kitų traumų todėl, kad nudegimo rizika priklauso nuo lyties, amžiaus, išsila-vinimo ir pajamų [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] …”

Tyrimo tikslas ir uždaviniaiNudegimai -viena iš sunkiausių traumų. Pastaraisiais dešimtmečiais nudegimų traumatizmas keičiasi tiek pasaulyje, tiek Lietuvoje. Lietuvos sveikatos mokslų universiteto ligoninėje Kauno klinikose (LSMUL KK) iki šiol nebuvo atliktas tyrimas, kuris nagrinėtų naujausius nudegimų epidemiologinius duomenis ir pokyčius. Nuo 1972 m. LSMU KK Nudegimų centras yra pagrindinis nudegimų gydymo padalinys Lietuvoje ir vienintelis centras, kuriame gydomi suaugusiųjų dideli nudegimai, todėl gydomų pacientų grupė gerai reprezentuoja situaciją šalyje. Mūsų tyrimo tikslas buvo ištirti ir palyginti nudegusių pacientų, Tyrimo rezultataiIš viso išanalizuoti 757 nudegę pacientai. Nustatyta, kad statistiškai reikšmingai dažniau nudegimus patiria vidutinio amžiaus vyrai (66,3 % vyrų, 33,7 % moterų). Rasta statistiškai reikšminga priklausomybė tarp lyties ir nudegimo mechanizmo: vyrai dažniau nusidegina liepsna, o moterys -karštu vandeniu. Dažniausios nudegimų lokalizacijų grupės: rankos, kojos ir galva, kaklas ir veidas, dažniausia etiologija -liepsna. Statistiškai reikšmingai sutrumpėjo nudegusio paciento hospitalizacijos trukmė (nuo 26 iki 24 dienų), sumažėjo gilių nudegimų (nuo 79,5 % iki 49,3 %). Lyginant operacinę taktiką abiem laikotarpiais, 2013-2015 m. statistiškai reikšmingai daugiau atlikta ankstyvųjų nekrektomijų ir operacijos laikas po nudegimo sutrumpėjo (nuo 10 iki 8 dienų). Originalūs mokslo tiriamieji darbai ResultsStatistically significantly more men suffered from burn injuries during the both periods (66.3% men, 33,7 % women). A statistically significant correlation between burn mechanism and gender was found: men are more likely to be burned by flame, women by scald. The most common burn localizations were arm, legs and head/neck/face regions. During the second period statistically significantly less arm, stomach/waist and leg region burns occurred. Flame was the most common burn cause in both periods. Hospital stay during the second period was statistically significantly shorter (26 days vs. 24 days). Deep burn number statistically significantly decreased from 79.5% to 49.3%. When comparing burn surgery tactics more early burn necrectomies (135 vs. 165) were performed sooner after the trauma (10 vs. 8 days) in 2013-2015. ConclusionsOur study results match worldwide burns epidemiologic and treatment tendencies: less deep burns occur (79.5% during first period, 49.3% during the second period, p<0.05), hospital stay is getting shorter (26 days during first period and 24 days during the second, p<0.05). During 2013-2015, more early burn surgeries were performed (135 surgeries during first period vs. 165 during the second, p<0.05), which matches the worldwide burns treatment guideline. Epidemiological data from our study could help understand changes in burn injuries and to improve burn prevention strategies.
