Abstract |
Burns are the most devastating form of trauma. They are among the most devastating injuries a child can sustain, and coupled with prolonged aggressive and non-aggressive medical and nursing therapies, can result in long-term physical and psychological concerns. Data were obtained from medical records of burned patients treated in our clinic from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2015. Subsequent details are examined, such as age, gender, etiologic factor, surface of the affected area, depth of burn, localization of injury by region, season when they happened the most, methods of treatment and duration of hospitalization. A total of 1268 patients with burns were admitted to the Clinic of Plastic Surgery Kosovo for treatment between 1 January 2006 and 31 December 2015. During the period of our research, male patients were predominant, accounting for 835 cases (65.85%) of burns while 433 (34.14%) patients were female. The average age in this study was 23 years. Our findings, even with the caveats known to this study, suggest that there is still a high number of patients with burn injury requiring hospital admission. Language: en Les brûlures sont la forme la plus dévastatrice des traumatismes, parmi les plus délabrantes chez l'enfant et, en raison aussi des la longueurs des soins nécessaires, peuvent être responsables de séquelles physiques et psychiques majeures. Les données ont été retrouvées dans les dossiers des 1 268 patients hospitalisés dans notre unité entre le 1er janvier 2006 et le 31 décembre 2015. L'âge, le sexe, l'agent causal, la surface, la profondeur, la localisation, la saisonnalité, le traitement et la durée d'hospitalisation ont été colligés. Les hommes (835) représentaient 68,85% des patients (433 - 34,14% de femmes). L'âge moyen était de 23 ans. Nos données, avec les limites de ce type d'étude, laissent à penser que le nombre de patients brûlés nécessitant une hospitalisation reste élevé. Language: fr |
