Epidemiological and outcome characteristics of major burns in Tokyo
چکیده انگلیسی
The mean age of the patients was 40.4 years, and 63% of them were male. It was noteworthy that 25% of the total patients were elderly patients over 60 years of age. Flame was the most common cause making up 45.6% followed by scalding (32.0%). The overall mortality rate was 15.4%. Inhalation injury was accompanied in 27.3% of burn patients. The mortality rate was 34.6% with inhalation injury, and 8.2% without inhalation injury. Causes of death showed that multiple organ failure made up 36.9% of total mortality, followed by sepsis 25.2 and shock 19.0%. The burn size (%BSA and BI) and inhalation injury were the factors for high mortality rate in all age groups whereas age was a predictor for high mortality in the patients older than 16 years of age. Gender was not a factor for high mortality in any age group. The mortality rate showed mildly decreasing tendency since 1995 for which implementation of skin bank was thought to be responsible.
