Abstract

Background: Burns are devastating injuries, often resulting in significant morbidity, impairment of emotional well-being, and experienced quality of life. The etiological factors of burn injuries is vary considerably in different communities and regions, hence the need for detailed epidemiological studies to understand the problem status in different regions.

Methods: A retrospective study of non-random consecutive sampling of medical records of Dr. Soedarso Regional Hospital in the period August 2017 – December 2020

Results: A total 108 samples were included in this study. There were 88 (81,5%) male and 20 (18,5%) female; mostly adult (>18 years) 57 (52,8%). The etiology of burn injury was flame (35,2%), electrical (34,3%) and scald (30,6%). The most total body surface area (TBSA) of burns from 1-10%. The mortality rate was obtained by 8 (7.4%) respondents.

Conclusion: : Based on the results of this study, that the major proportion of burn patients were male and in the age group of > 18 years old. Flame was the most leading cause of burn. Considering the size of the burn, it was revealed that the most TBSA of burns was 1-10%.
