Abstract：Objective To analyze the characteristics of pediatric inpatients with burn in a hospital in Hunan Province, and to provide evidence for effectively preventing and controlling burn in children. Methods Medical records of pediatric burn inpatients aged 14 years and below were collected in a hospital in Hunan Province from January 2002 to December 2014, and then descriptive, univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to analyze the characteristics of pediatric burn. Results A total of 1,003 burn children aged 14 years and below were hospitalized from 2002 to 2014. The number of pediatric burn inpatients showed an upward trend year by year, of which inpatients with hydrothermal burn accounted for 50.3% of the total number of burn cases. The proportions of inpatients aged 1-3 years in five types of burns were higher than those of other age groups (χ2=59.52, P<0.001). Most of inpatients with hydrothermal burn were children with urban household registration, while the inpatients with other types of burns were mainly from rural area (χ2=50.74, P<0.001). The hospitalization days of inpatients with electric or chemical burn were the longest (H=10.52, P=0.033). The hospitalization expenditure of hydrothermal burn was the most expensive (H=19.18, P=0.001). Flame burn was not common in children with urban household registration (OR=0.218, 95%CI: 0.093-0.508), in spring (OR=0.235, 95%CI: 0.083-0.666), summer (OR=0.273, 95%CI:0.103-0.719) and autumn (OR=0.203, 95%CI:0.055-0.748). Electric or chemical burn was not common in children with urban household registration (OR=0.188, 95%CI: 0.100-0.356), but electric or chemical burn was common in autumn (OR=4.396, 95%CI: 1.879-10.285). Conclusions Most of pediatric burn inpatients in this hospital in Hunan Province during 2002-2014 were children with hydrothermal burn, and household registration location and season were the factors influencing the occurrence of different types of burns. It is necessary to take the targeted prevention and control measures in high-risk population and high-occurrence seasons based on the characteristics of inpatients with different types of burns.
