This study comprised of 468 pediatric burn-injury cases. The patients were collected from October 1986 to December 1993 in the Burn Center at Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. The population of burned children accounted for 31.3% of all 1495 patients admitted during the period. We are interested in backgrounds, causes of burn, extent of injury, place of burn, and activities during the events. The most common causes of injury were scalds (76.5%) in children under the age of 5 years (67.1%). Male was affected predominantly (61.8%). Most of the burn injuries ocurred in the winter months between October and January, and the accidents majorly happened at home (73.9%). The overall mortality was low (1.9%).
