Abstract
Burn injuries occur on the job, at home, and on the roads as a result of faulty equipment, negligence, and uncontrollable circumstances. The causes of burn injury differ in various communities and understanding this is necessary before preventive action can be planned and implemented. This study was taken to identify the epidemiological factors that could help in the future prevention of major burns so that by continuously reviewing the epidemiology of burn injuries, we can effect a reduction in burn incidences. A total of 127 patients were studied during a period from December 2012 to December 2014. Information regarding the demographic profile of burns was obtained and data collected were entered into MS-Excel spread sheets and analysis was carried out. The most productive age group between 21-30 years was involved in burns injuries with female predominance. Flame burns were most common 67(52.75%) of all burns. Majority of females sustained burn injuries during the day time i.e. between (6am- 6 pm) whereas males 18(40.90%) subjects sustained burn injuries between (6 pm and 6 am). Most of the female victims were house wives 34(40.96%) whereas most of the male victims 19 (43.18%) were manual workers. Accidental burns 94.48% outnumbered suicidal and homicidal nature of burns. In our study septicaemic shock 39.37% remained the major cause of burn death.
