Abstract
- U ranoj fazi kod opeklinskih ozljeda može se dati samo gruba prognoza o trajanju liječenja. Mi smo stoga proveli analizu povezanosti mehanizma ozljede s omjerom prosječnog trajanja hospitalizacije (PTH) i ukupne površine tijela zahvaćenom opeklinom (UPT). Proveli smo retrospektivnu analizu 375-ero pacijenata koji su u razdoblju između 1. siječnja 2010. i 31. prosinca 2019. hospitalizirani zbog opeklinskih ozljeda na Klinici za dječju kirurgiju Klinike za dječje bolesti Zagreb. Pacijenti su s obzirom na mehanizam nastanka ozljede razdijeljeni u sljedeće podskupine - opekline vrućom vodom (n=210), opekline vrućim uljem (n=22), opekline padom u vruću vodu (n=7), kontaktne opekline (n=54), opekline plamenom (n=36), opekline vrućim parama (n=7), eksplozivne opekline (n=13) i opekline strujnim udarom (n=12). Analizirali smo omjer prosječnog trajanja hospitalizacije (PTH) i ukupne površine tijela (UPT) s obzirom na mehanizam opeklinske ozljede. Kontaktne opekline nose veći rizik za veći omjer trajanja hospitalizacije s ukupnom površinom tijela (PTH/UP) od opeklina vrućim uljem (t=2,485, p= 0,015), opeklina vrućom tekućinom (t=3,948, p < 0,001), opeklina plamenom (t= 2,485, p= 0,015), eksplozivnih opeklina (t=2,900, p= 0,005), opeklina zbog pada u vruću vodu (t=4,369, p<br />In the early phase in paediatric burns, one can only give a rough estimate regarding the length of treatment. Therefore, we analysed the relationship between the burn injury mechanism and the length of stay (LOS) to total body surface area aff ected (TBSA) ratio. We performed a retrospective review of 375 patients who had been hospitalised for burn injuries in the period from January 1, 2010 until December 31, 2019 at the Department of Paediatric Surgery, Zagreb Children’s Hospital. According to the mechanism of burn injury, patients were divided into the following groups: hot water scalds (n=210), hot oil scalds (n=22), bath scalds (n=7), contact burns (n=54), fl ame burns (n=36), steam burns (n=7), explosive (n=13) and electrical burns (n=12). We analysed the mean LOS/TBSA ratio according to diff erent patient groups. Study results revealed that contact burns had a signifi cantly greater risk of higher LOS/TBSA ratio than hot oil scalds (t=2.485, p=0.015), hot water scalds (t=3.948, p
