Epidemiology and Characteristics of Burn Injury Patients in Dr. M. Ashari Regional General Hospital: A 5-Year Retrospective Study
Main Article Content
Abstract
Burn injury is one of the major global health burdens, which causes permanent changes to patients, thus influencing their quality of life, and accounts for 180,000 deaths annually in low- and middle-income countries. The aim of this research was to describe the epidemiology and characteristics of burn injury patients in Dr.M.Ashari Regional General Hospital. This research was a descriptive retrospective study, where the data was collected from burn injury patients’ medical records who were hospitalized in Dr.M.Ashari Regional General Hospital during 2018-2022. Out of 96 burn injury cases, 82 cases were included. The result showed the total cases of burn injury patients were 32 in 2018, 31 in 2019, 8 in 2020, 6 in 2021, and 5 in 2022. There were 55 males (67.1%) and 27 females (32.9%), with 59 adults (72%) and 23 children (28%). Burn injury was predominantly caused by scald (45.1%), followed by electricity (35.4%), with the most frequent clinical characteristics were superficial-mid dermal degree, involving extremity, and 1-10% TBSA. The average length of stay was 4.5 days, with a 7.3% mortality rate. These results were expected to help clinicians and policymakers to further understand the epidemiology and characteristics of burn injury in Indonesia and aid in implementing effective preventive strategies.
