“…In a comparative study examining the "COVID-19 stay-at-home epoch" relative to the 5 years pre-COVID-19, Sanford et al 58 found burn injury admissions at a pediatric hospital to increase, mostly flame burns to White patients. Teams from French, 59 Brazilian, 60 and Romanian 61 hospitals noted a similar increase in pediatric burn patients. At a Spanish burn hospital, the authors found an increase in pediatric surgeries as well as intensive care unit admissions during the height of the pandemic from March to May 2020 compared with the months that followed.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the healthcare system to adopt novel strategies to treat patients. Pediatric plastic surgeons are uniquely exposed to high rates of infections during examinations and surgeries via aerosol-generating procedures, in part because of the predilection of viral particles for the nasal cavities and pharynx. Telemedicine has emerged as a useful virtual medium for encouraging prolonged patient follow-up while maintaining physical distance. It has proven beneficial in mitigating infection risks while decreasing the financial burden on patients, their families, and healthcare teams. New trends driven by the pandemic added multiple elements to the patient-physician relationship and have left a lasting impact on the field of pediatric plastic surgery in clinical guidelines, surgical care, and patient outcomes. Lessons learned help inform pediatric plastic surgeons on how to reduce future viral infection risk and lead a more appropriately efficient surgical team depending on early triage.

“…Females are more burned than males, The domestic accidents were the principal cause in both periods, however, their percentage was more elevated in confinement period (80% vs 69%) The work and traffic accidents were normally more present in period of non-confinement [5] , this can be explained by the fact that everyone stayed at home confined even for work the majority of companies have adopted teleworking, which means that all incidents occur at home.…”

The coronavirus disease pandemic has spread to every corner of the world and has affected our practice as healthcare professionals, Morocco has experienced a period of strict containment on March, April and May 2020. This confinement gave notable social and economic changes. Through this analytic study we compare the epidemiology of burns admitted to the burn’s unit of the university hospital Mohammed VI of Marrakech on March, April and May 2020 and March, April and May2019, we have noticed significant decrease of cases and particularly severe cases and also the importance of domestic accidents as the principal cause.

“…In the US, a multi-institutional study found reduced rates of inpatient hospital admissions but unchanged LOS, as well as unchanged rates of ICU admission but increased ICU LOS [12]. A study from the only Romanian Paediatric Burns Department also showed a decrease in inpatient admissions by 41% [90]. The authors theorised that the reduction was due to fewer admissions of minor burns (< 10%), as the number of burns with TBSA 10-80% was unchanged between the pre-COVID and COVID period.…”

Burns in children remain a prominent mode of injury, resulting in considerable morbidity and mortality globally and are a key cause of disability-adjusted life-years. Paediatric burns present a unique challenge, in part due to the developmental, physical and emotional differences between adults and children. Those living in low- and middle-income settings are particularly vulnerable, facing problems such as overcrowding and floor-level cooking. During the COVID-19 pandemic, stay at home orders and the closure of schools and childcare changed the pattern of paediatric injury across the world, resulting in a general increase in trauma-related presentations. This review will examine recent global trends in paediatric burns, including the impact of COVID-19, specifically focusing on the pattern of burn aetiology over the past decade. It will also look at any changes with regard to epidemiological characteristics; burn site, severity and extent; first aid and location; and management and outcomes.
