Abstract

Background: Burns is one of the most important causes of death, and the best way to reduce mortality due to burns is prevention.

Aims: To investigate the factors responsible for mortality due to burns in south-western Islamic Republic of Iran.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of 400 burns patients admitted to different wards of Ayatollah Taleghani Trauma and Burns Hospital, Ahvaz, Islamic Republic of Iran, from October 2020 to September 2021. Logistic regression was used to determine the factors responsible for mortality.

Results: The mean age of the patients was 28.47 (19.09) years, and 252 (63.0%) patients were male. There were 257 survivors and 143 deaths (35.75% mortality rate). The multiple logistic regression model showed that age, sex, percentage of total body surface area, burn depth, length of hospital stay, and length of intensive care unit stay were significantly associated with deaths due to burns.

Conclusion: The mortality rate due to burns was high at the Ayatollah Taleghani Trauma and Burns Hospital, Islamic Republic of Iran. Improving the quality of care provided to burns patients at health facilities can help reduce the current high mortality rate.

导致伊朗伊斯兰共和国烧伤患者死亡的因素。

背景:烧伤是最重要的死亡原因之一，预防是降低烧伤死亡率的最佳途径。目的:调查导致伊朗伊斯兰共和国西南部烧伤死亡的因素。方法:这是一项横断面研究，对2020年10月至2021年9月在伊朗伊斯兰共和国阿瓦士阿亚图拉塔莱哈尼创伤和烧伤医院不同病房收治的400名烧伤患者进行研究。采用Logistic回归确定导致死亡率的因素。结果:患者平均年龄28.47岁(19.09岁)，男性252例(63.0%)。幸存者257人，死亡143人(死亡率35.75%)。多元logistic回归模型显示，年龄、性别、占体表面积的百分比、烧伤深度、住院时间和重症监护病房住院时间与烧伤死亡显著相关。结论:伊朗伊斯兰共和国阿亚图拉塔莱格尼创伤烧伤医院烧伤死亡率高。改善卫生机构向烧伤患者提供的护理质量有助于降低目前的高死亡率。
