[A multicenter epidemiological study of burns of the head in childhood in the period of 1986-1990].

A retrospective study was performed over the children admitted to three regional pediatric burn units, over a 5-year period (1986-1990). Out of 695 pediatric patients, 270 (38.8%) were admitted with burns of the head and neck. This whole childhood age group (up to 14 years of age) was examined epidemiologically. The age group presenting the highest incidence was within 0-3 years (71%); scalds were involved in high percentage (68%) and many injuries occurred at home (93%). Epidemiological aspects of the report are discussed with particular consideration of preventive programs.
