Epidemiology and Characteristics of Burn Patients in Dr. Soedarso General Hospital during 2017 – 2020: Retrospective Study

Abstract

Background: Burns are devastating injuries, often resulting in significant morbidity, impairment of emotional well-being, and experienced quality of life. The etiological factors of burn injuries is vary considerably in different communities and regions, hence the need for detailed epidemiological studies to understand the problem status in different regions.
 Methods: A retrospective study of non-random consecutive sampling of medical records of Dr. Soedarso Regional Hospital in the period August 2017 – December 2020
 Results: A total 108 samples were included in this study. There were 88 (81,5%) male and 20 (18,5%) female; mostly adult (>18 years) 57 (52,8%). The etiology of burn injury was flame (35,2%), electrical (34,3%) and scald (30,6%). The most total body surface area (TBSA) of burns from 1-10%. The mortality rate was obtained by 8 (7.4%) respondents.
 Conclusion: : Based on the results of this study, that the major proportion of burn patients were male and in the age group of > 18 years old. Flame was the most leading cause of burn. Considering the size of the burn, it was revealed that the most TBSA of burns was 1-10%.

Effect of Propolis Trigona Sp on Expression of TNF-α in Superficial Dermal Burns through In Vivo Test

“…With the most cases caused by electrical burns (34.3% of cases), 77% of cases were grade II burns with the average length of hospital stay was 16.15 days and the mortality rate was around 7.4%. 3 Injuries from burns induce global changes throughout the immune system resulting in suppressed immune function and vulnerability to infection. This immunopathological response can contribute to the development of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and multiple organ failure.…”
