Burn epidemiology and demographics
Epidemiology and Demographics
The incidence/prevalence of burn injury is approximately per 217 of which 189 sustained burns/ scald injuries and the remaining sustained electrical burn injuries. [1][2]
Patients of all age groups may develop burns injury, but it’s commonly affects individuals younger than/older. it reported 122 case in this age.122 were aged between 16-35 yrs. Of the 189 people who sustained burns/ scald injuries 33 were children aged 15 yrs or less [3].
There is no racial predilection to burn injury.
Female [4]are more commonly affected by critical burn injury than male (>25% body surface area) was statistically significant in adults[5][6][7]

Approximately 86% of burns are caused by thermal injury, while about 4% are electrical and 3% are chemical. Flame and scald burns are the leading cause of burns in children and adults. More adults are injured with flame burns while children younger than five years old are more often injured with scald burns. Burn injuries more commonly affect people of low and middle income and people in low-income countries[8]
