Evaluation of Pediatric Cases Followed in Burn Center

Abstract

Objective: Burn injuries are among the most important causes of unintentional death in young children. Although most pediatric burns do not cause serious clinical problems, severe burns have a higher mortality rate than adult patients with similar burns. In this study, we aimed to discuss the clinical features of pediatric burn patients hospitalized in the Burn Center of Eskisehir City Hospital. Materials and Methods: Pediatric patients between 0 and 18 years of age were followed up since August 2023 and were evaluated retrospectively. Patients were evaluated according to age, gender, presence of chronic diseases, parenteral treatment rates, types of burns, total body surface area and the area affected by the burn. Results: The most common burn type was scald burn with 89.5% (n=246). According to the types of burns, especially scalding and flame burns were found to have a longer hospitalization period than electrical burns. While there was a significant correlation between the percentage of burns and the duration of intensive care unit stay and hospitalization (p=0.001), the number of operations increased as the percentage of burns increased (p=0.072). Conclusion: Exposure to burns was mostly observed in children aged 0-24 months. Burns may cause more serious consequences in pediatric cases. By looking at the types of burns in pediatric patients according to age groups, we think that burn cases in this age group can be reduced by raising awareness of families and taking precautions.
