Patterns of severe burn injury in adults throughout the year
Introduction
Understanding the patterns of burn injuries over different times of the year and throughout the day is crucial for developing targeted prevention strategies and improving patient outcomes. Seasonal variations, often linked to environmental conditions, activities, and behaviors, play a critical role in the frequency and severity of burn injuries.
By identifying these patterns, we can better inform public health initiatives and optimize resource allocation in healthcare settings for the treatment of burn injuries.
Material and methods
The study was conducted as a retrospective cohort study by analyzing the data from the burn registry of the German Burn Society from 2016 to 2023.
In the analyzed period, 10432 adult patients were included in the present study.
Results
Regardless of the day of the week or the weekend, a peak in admissions can be seen between 2 and 3 pm. Patients suffered the most burn injuries on a Saturday (n = 1578; 15.1 %), while the fewest burn injuries occurred on a Tuesday (n = 1390; 13.3 %).
The distribution of flame, grease/oil, and explosion injuries shows a clear increase in the summer and a lower number of cases in autumn and winter.
A peak in the number of patients with burn injury is seen on the 1st of January, with 83 (0.8 %) reported cases requiring treatment in an intensive care unit. The day with the fewest burn injuries requiring treatment in an intensive care unit is 1 December with 11 cases (0.1 %).
Conclusion
In summary, various external factors influence the frequency of burn trauma. The early afternoon and the summer season show clear peaks admission frequency. The days of week only showed a minor variation.
期刊介绍:
Burns aims to foster the exchange of information among all engaged in preventing and treating the effects of burns. The journal focuses on clinical, scientific and social aspects of these injuries and covers the prevention of the injury, the epidemiology of such injuries and all aspects of treatment including development of new techniques and technologies and verification of existing ones. Regular features include clinical and scientific papers, state of the art reviews and descriptions of burn-care in practice.
Topics covered by Burns include: the effects of smoke on man and animals, their tissues and cells; the responses to and treatment of patients and animals with chemical injuries to the skin; the biological and clinical effects of cold injuries; surgical techniques which are, or may be relevant to the treatment of burned patients during the acute or reconstructive phase following injury; well controlled laboratory studies of the effectiveness of anti-microbial agents on infection and new materials on scarring and healing; inflammatory responses to injury, effectiveness of related agents and other compounds used to modify the physiological and cellular responses to the injury; experimental studies of burns and the outcome of burn wound healing; regenerative medicine concerning the skin.
