Abstract

Burn injuries in GDR have a slight decreasing tendency concerning both morbidity and mortality. The distribution of injuries to the districts of GDR can be explained by the distribution of population, not by distribution of industry. The overwhelming share of injuries consists of children with small scalds. Therapeutical results are comparable with results from international literature. Owing to the fact that in last years no further decisive improvement could be achieved, more attention must be devoted to the problem of primary prevention especially to target groups, resulting from anamnestic and clinical data analysis.
