Statistics of Patients with Burn Injuries During a 4-Year Period in Our Department

Abstract

Recently improvements in safety have been introduced in various aspects of our living environment, but patients with burn injuries still appear frequently and they form a considerable part of the medical treatment at the Department of Plastic Surgery. To understand the actual state of the burn injury it is nessesary to look at the presentation of the disease. In this study we carried out a statistical observation on patients with fresh burn injuries who visited our Department from January 1989 to December 1992. We report here the results with some discussion of the literature.
