摘要

台灣健保資料庫涵蓋了百分之九十六的台灣住民，提供臨床醫師分析台灣地區涵蓋各級醫院的燒傷流行病學。西元1996年至2000年，從二十分之一的抽樣中分析了2860個案例，住院率為0.52／千人年。在這五年之中，因燒傷住院的病患人數變化不大，然而病患燒傷的嚴重度卻有明顯的降低，同時平均總住院費用也有下降的趨勢。醫學中心的平均住院天數為13.2天，地區醫院為6.5天。住院率最高的族群為小於五歲的幼兒。在不同的季節中，冬天的病例數並未增加。在這五年中的死亡率介於百分之0.56至2.91之間。

The population-based, multi-institutional National Health Insurance (NHI) Research Database (NHIRD) with the wide coverage of 96% of population offers the opportunity for clinical research on the overall picture of burn injury in Taiwan. The 1/20-sampled inpatient dataset from 1996 to 2000 was the main source of information. 2860 cases were included in this study. The rate of admission was estimated as 0.52 per thousand populations per year. The number of burn injuries remains unchanged in these five years. However, the number of severe burn injuries has decreased considerably. The total fees of hospitalization dropped accordingly. The average length of stay was 13.2 days for the medical center and 6.5 days for the local hospital. Children under five had the highest rate of admission. The seasonal variation shows no higher incidence of burn in winter months. The overall mortality rate was among 0.56% to 2.91%.
