Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of hospitalized children with severe burn from several regions in China during 3 years, so as to provide evidence for prevention burns children. Methods: Relying on entry system epidemiology data and biological sample multicenter clinic, medical records burn, aged 18 under, 6 wards February 2012 2015 were collected. The divided into 5 age brackets: less than or equal 1 year old, more old years 12 old. Meanwhile rural urban according their residences. Data gender residence brackets, cause injury, location total area, wound site, inhalation injury combined source hospitalization expenses brackets two types residence, outcome length hospital stay analyzed. different was In addition, they 2 then incidences hand foot compared. processed chi-square test, correlation between area Spearman analysis. Results: Four hundred forty out 106 inpatients children, accounting 39.8% who included system. (1) majority male (270, 61.4%). number ranked first (222, 50.5%) brackets. ratio areas that 2.9∶1.0.
