“…The overall median LOS was 17 days, which was longer than the duration reported in previous studies in the Netherlands29 and Israel30 but shorter than the lengths reported in Brazil31 and Beijing13. In fact, nearly 10% of patients stayed in hospital for more than 60 days in this study.…”

Burns are a major cause of injury worldwide. We investigated the epidemiology and outcomes of burn patients in a major burn center in southwest China between 2011 and 2015 to provide guidance for burn prevention. Of the 6,325 included burn patients, 66.8% were male and 34.7% were 0 ~ 6 years old. The incidence of burns peaked in autumn. Scald was the most common cause of burns, which was predominant in patients aged 0 ~ 6 years. The mean total body surface area (TBSA) of burns was 13.4%, and patients with burns ≤10% TBSA comprised 64.1% of all cases. Patients with full-thickness burns accounted for 40.1% of all patients and 81.0% of operated patients; these burns were primarily caused by flame (34.8%), scald (21.0%), and electricity (20.4%). Fifty-six deaths occurred (mortality 0.9%), and risk factors included full-thickness burns, larger TBSA and older age. The median length of stay was 17 days, and major risk factors included more operations, better outcomes and larger TBSA. Our data showed that closer attention should be paid to children under 6 years old, males, incidents in autumn and scald burns to prevent burn injuries. Furthermore, individualized burn prevention and treatment measures based on related risk factors should be adopted.

“…Many other studies have reported similar results, with reduction in burns morbidity [14][15][16][17]. This trend could be attributed to the increase in burn awareness through prevention campaigns.…”

“…There was, however, a female dominance for age ranges [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] years and 60-80 years. Female dominance in the stated age groups owes to the active involvement of females in these age ranges in cooking and other domestic activities with high burn risk [26].…”

“…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.
