Abstract

Background: Damages caused by scald BURNS are common and can cause severe complications and death. The purpose of this study was to define risk groups and then methods of prevention and treatment is designed to fit.Methods: Data for this retrospective study of hospitalized patients in Shahid Motahari Hospital in Tehran from 2007-2011 were compiled. Data including age, sex, cause of burn, and degree of burn and ultimate fate of the victims were collected from scald BURNS. BURNS caused by boiling water and hot food (Scald), in two age groups: 12 and under 12 years (children) and more than 12 years (ADULTs) were compared in terms of statistics.Results: A total of 1150 patients consisting of males (57.9%) and females (42.1%) were studied. The most common age was 1 year old and 50% of patients were under 3 years of age.87.9% burned with boiling water and 12.1% had experienced BURNS with hot food. Incentive to burn was 0.3% cross burning and 99.7% incident. A maximum number of BURNS in children 12 years and younger males (42.1%) and a minimum number in men over 12 years (15.7%) were observed. Mean percentage of BURNS was 11% in over 12 years group and 30.9% in 12 and under 12 years group. The average hospital stay was 11.4 days and the MORTALITY RATE was 4.8%. The final status of the patients was as fallows: full recovery 904 cases (78.6%), partial recovery 134 (11.7%), clearance with personal consent 41 (3.6%), death 55 (4.8%) and 16 cases (3.1%) were among other reasons.Conclusion: In general it can be said, scald BURNS incidence in individuals aged 12 and younger were more than the older ones and the mean of BURNS was lower in individuals with over 12 years old. There was a sexual preference for males under 12 years. MORTALITY RATE in the two groups has not any statistically significant difference. There was no statistically significant association between sex and MORTALITY RATE. Some of our findings are depending on cultural, social and economic conditions, so generalized this findings to other geographical areas should be done with caution.
