| description | Introduction: A "large burn" patient is defined as a patient who suffers a burn of such magnitude that it carries a major risk of life, defined by different parameters. Burns are a national and worldwide public health problem due to the morbidity and mortality they cause. The objective of this study is to describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of hospitalized patients with large burns.
Methods: A descriptive, retrospective and longitudinal study was carried out at the Plastic Surgery and Burn Service of the Celia Sánchez Manduley Surgical Hospital, Manzanillo - Granma, from January 2015 to December 2018, to understand the epidemiological characteristics of hospitalized large burn patients.
Results: The largest number of hospitalizations (45 patients [35.16%]) occurred in 2018. There was a predominance of females (74 patients [57.81%]). Accidents were the most frequent cause of burns (71 patients [55.47%]). Severe large burn patients were the most frequently treated (48 [37.50%]). The highest number of cases occurred in the municipalities of Bayamo (40 cases [31.25%]) and Manzanillo (21 cases [16.41%]).
Conclusion: The highest number of cases occurred in 2018, with a predominance of females between the age of 30-59 years. Accidents were the primary cause for burns, and the survival rate exceeded expectations. The municipalities with the most cases were Bayamo and Manzanillo. |
