Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics and influence of gender difference on the outcome of adolescent burns. A retrospective study was conducted on 641 burn patients (10 - 19 years old) admitted to the Viet Nam National Burn Hospital over a three-year period (2016 - 2018). Demographic data, burn features and outcome including complications, length of hospital stay and mortality of male and female groups were compared. The results indicated that adolescents accounted for 6.5% of total admitted burn patients, with a predominance of males (69.3%). Higher proportions of burn due to dry heat (flame or hot surface contact) and electricity were seen in the male group (p < .001). No significant differences were seen between male and female groups in terms of age, admission time, season of burn and burn severity. Compared to females, males experienced more surgical interventions and stayed longer in hospital with higher LA50 (71.2% vs. 56.5% TBSA). It is necessary to conduct prevention and intervention to improve the outcome of adolescent burns, especially for female patients.

青少年烧伤的特点和性别对预后的影响。

本研究旨在探讨青少年烧伤的特点及性别差异对预后的影响。对越南国立烧伤医院住院的641名烧伤患者(10 - 19岁)进行了回顾性研究，为期三年(2016 - 2018年)。比较男女两组的人口统计数据、烧伤特征和结局(包括并发症)、住院时间和死亡率。结果表明，青少年占住院烧伤患者的6.5%，男性占69.3%。男性组因干热(火焰或热表面接触)和电引起的烧伤比例较高(p < 0.001)。男女患者在年龄、入院时间、烧伤季节、烧伤严重程度等方面均无显著差异。与女性相比，男性经历了更多的手术干预，住院时间更长，LA50更高(71.2% vs. 56.5% TBSA)。为改善青少年烧伤的预后，尤其是女性患者，有必要进行预防和干预。
