【摘要】 目的 通过对老年人烧伤的原因进行调查与分析，为预防老年人烧伤提供有效的依据。 方法 调查分析2000年1月-2009年6月收治的270例60岁以上老年烧伤住院患者的致伤因子、好发年龄、烧伤月份、烧伤程度、烧伤地点、家庭及居住情况。 结果 270例老年烧伤中，致伤因子以火焰烧伤最多占147例（54.44%），与其他的致伤因子比较有统计学意义（P lt;0.05）；好发年龄以60～69岁年龄段发生率最高占153例（56.67%），与其他年龄段比较有统计学意义（P lt;0.05）；老年烧伤一年四季均可发生，但以寒冷的冬季12月-次年2月居多，占158例（58.52%），与其他季节比较有统计学意义（P lt;0.05）；烧伤程度以轻度为主共142例（52.59%）；烧伤地点大多发生在家中共213例（78.89%），且为独居占191例（70.74%）；老年烧伤家庭以农村家庭居多共208例（77.04%）。 结论 随着老年人群逐步增加，烧伤发生率也增高，在日常生活中应采取有效防范措施，防止和减少老年烧伤的发生。
【Abstract】Objective To provide the effective evidence for preventing burn injury of aged people by investigating and analyzing the reasons of burn injury. Methods The injury factors, age, month, degree, place, family and habitation of 270 aged people over 60 years old were analyzed between January, 2000 to June, 2009 in this department. Results In 270 aged patients, there were 147 patients whose injury factors were flame (54.44%) , and there was statistical difference compared with other injury factors (P lt;0.05) . The injury age of the highest incidence rate was 60 to 69 (153 patients, 56.67%) , and there was statistical difference compared with other injury age (P lt;0.05) .The aged burn injury may happen in all seasons, but the highest incidence rate appeared in winter (from December to next February) and there was statistical difference compared with other seasons (P lt;0.05) (158, 58.52%). There were 142 minor injury degree patients mainly (52.59%). The most injury places were at home (213 patients, 78.89%) and 191 patients (70.74%) were living alone.Two hundred and eight patients (77.04%) came from countryside. Conclusion With the aged people increasing, the incidence rate of burn injury is also raised.So effective methods should be adopted to prevent and decrease the incidence of age burn injury.
