“…In our study, accidental burns were the most predominant and no homicidal cases were reported. This was in agreement with studies by Nair and colleagues (2017) [18], Shahid and colleagues (2018) [19], and Mishra and colleagues (2017) [20]. An explanation for this finding is that most burns occur due to indoor domestic activities, especially for females, or in workplaces for males.…”

Background: Burn victims have higher levels of cell free DNA (cfDNA), which allows its use as a direct indicator of cellular damage and burn vitality. Aim: Determination of cfDNA levels in burn patients and their correlation with total body surface area burned percent (TBSA%). Subjects and methods: Burn cases were evaluated to determine the prevalence of age and sex variations, period of admission, TBSA%, and the etiology and manner of burns. The plasma cfDNA concentration was measured within 24 hours of the burn injury in 40 burn cases and 20 control subjects. Results: The mean age of the cases was 34.38 years (median 33 years). Most patients were males (62.5%). Burning by flame or scalding represented 50% of the cases. Accidental burns were the most predominant. The mean of admission periods was 36.55 days while the mean value of TBSA% of the cases was 16.68%. There was a statistically significant difference in cfDNA values between cases and control subjects (p = 0.001). A positive correlation was found between cfDNA levels and TBSA% (r = 0.7; p < 0.001). Conclusion and recommendations: Levels of cfDNA were significantly different between burn cases and controls.

“…Cooking fires were the leading cause of severe burns in Iran and Kuwait. 17 In this study, association between gender and type of injury burn was significant as they were related. Here accidental injury was high in number among females (29.8% n = 36) than males (26.45%, n = 32).…”

Background Burns cause the most severe injuries and are a major public health concern worldwide. It is common in third-world countries and it greatly increases mortality and illness there. Because of the long period of time spent in the hospital and the effort required to recover from a burn, it is one of the most costly injuries to treat. Objectives The aim of this study was to identify the priming factors related to burn injury among people in Bangladesh. Materials and Methods The study design was cross-sectional. Total 121 samples were selected conveniently for the study and the study was conducted in several hospital settings in Chittagong, Savar and Dhaka city like Chittagong Medical College Hospital, Enam Medical College Hospital, and Sheikh Hasina Burn Hospital. Data was collected by using a self-administered questionnaire. Statistical Analysis Descriptive and inferential statistics (chi-squared test) were used for data analysis that focused through tables. Results On average, people were 22.43 (14.399) years old. Of the total of 121 patients, 48.1% were female (n = 58) and 52.1% were male (n = 63). Among the participants, 56.2% (n = 68) were hurt accidentally, 33.9% (n = 41) were injured on the job, 2.5% (n = 3) were harmed intentionally, and 7.4% (n = 9) were injured while preparing food. In case of occurrence, 37.2% (n = 45) were burned by fire, 38.8% (n = 47) were electrical burn and 23.9% (n = 29) were chemical or scald type burn. Conclusions Most burn injuries are accidental, such as cooking fires, hot water, electric lines, and acid throwing that are significantly considered as the priming factors of burn injury among people in Bangladesh. The lack of awareness and ignorance causes these accidents and insufficient training causes most the electrical burns.
