Abstract
Bu klinik çalışmada, 1997-2003 yılları arasında Uludağ Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Plastik, Rekonstrüktif ve Estetik Cerrahi Anabilim Dalı Yanık Merkezinde yatırılarak tedavi edilen 15 yaşın altında 186 olgu ile ilgili epidemiyolojik faktörler sunulmaktadır. Olgular yaş, cinsiyet, yanık nedenleri, toplam yanık yüzey alanı ve yanık lokalizasyonları dikkate alınarak incelendi. Toplam 186 olgunun 103’ü erkek, 83’ü kız olup, yaş ortalamaları 3,4 yıl idi. Yanıklar 128 olguda haşlanma yanığı, 40 olguda alev yanığı, 9 olguda elektrik yanığı ve 7 olguda sıcak cisim ile temas sonucu oluşan yanık şeklindeydi. Yanıkların çoğu üst ekstremitede lokalize idi ve olguların ortalama yanık yüzey alanları %23 idi. Sonuç olarak epidemiyolojik çalışmalar, yanıkların oluşumundaki tehlikeleri belirlemesi ve en sık oluşum nedenlerini göstermesi açısından önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın da, Türkiye’deki çocukların yanıklardan korunması için çeşitli koruyucu programların geliştirilmesinde yararlı olacağını düşünüyoruz.
In this clinical study, the epidemiological factors about 186 child burns under 15 years old, who were treated between the years 1997-2003 in the Burn Unit of the Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery of Uludag University Medical School were presented. Cases were investigated in regard to the age, sex, cause of the burn, total burn surface area and the localisation of the burn. Totally, 103 of 186 cases were boys and 83 were girls. The mean age was 3,4 years. The etiologic factors were scald in 128 cases, flame in 40 cases, electrical burn in 9 cases and contact burn in 7 cases. The upper extremities were the most affected sites in these cases and the mean total burn surface area was %23. In conclusion, epidemiological surveys provide objective information on hazardous agents and on the settings in which burns are most likely to occur. It is suggested that the findings of this study would be used as a basis for developing targeted preventive programs to protect Turkish children from burns.
