Abstract

Over a 1-year period (October 1990 to October 1991), 100 patients with burns due to domestic accidents have been admitted to our Burn Unit. The total number of burn admissions was 238. There is a relative abundance of data in the burn literature, clearly depicting local characteristics and peculiarities in different countries or societies. Our purpose is to present some statistical, epidemiological and socioeconomic data from Greek society, as well as to compare data from other countries.
