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.

“…As one of the most devastating types of injuries, burns can be caused by various factors such as fire, boiled water, electricity and so on [1,2]. However, burns, which caused by a featured coal stove accompany with carbon monoxide (CO) intoxication is uncommon, especially some areas without district heat supply network.…”

Background: We report this case to arouse public attention on burned children with carbon monoxide, (CO) intoxication, especially children under poor supervision and from coal high-consumption areas. Case Report: A eight-year old girl presented with CO intoxication and burned knee by a coal-burning stove. After hyperbaric oxygen to rectify CO intoxication and three surgeries therapy, the girl survived. Conclusion: Burns with CO intoxication are particularly dangerous for un-supervised children. Government and guardians should take some effective preventive measures and closer supervision to prevent childhood burns and other injuries.
