Abstract

After having shortly illustrated the work's purpose, the Authors start to examine the statistics obtained in a research developed on 1,478 burned patients admitted at the burn center of the Institute of Plastic Surgery of Parma's University from 1967 to 1976. By and by are taken into consideration the statistics concerning age, sex, work, the percentage of burned body surface, the burn's causes, the mortality due to burns and the time spent in hospital. The most important data are those that come out from the comparison of the data that the N.B.I.E. considers optimal for a burn center, and those of the Burn Center of Parma, that have resulted practically the same. At the end of the work are related some considerations concerning the necessity of a bigger prevention of the illness and of collaboration with the other italian Burn Centers.
