Abstract

Aim: The study aim was to determine the characteristics of treatment results, and mortality risk factors of burn patients for 10 years (2010 - 2019) at the Le Huu Trac National Burns Hospital.
Subjects and methods: A retrospective study of 29.393 data patients burns from Jan 2010 to Dec 2019 at the Le Huu Trac National Burns Hospital. The information about epidemiology, complications and treatment results were collected.
Results: The length of hospital stay is 16.84 ± 14.61 days. The longer time of hospitalization is in men, from 16 to 60 years of age, dorsal burns, combined injuries, and the longest due to electric burns (27.63 days). However shorter in patients with inhalation injury, do not have health insurance. Severe complications are multiorgan disifunction (1.62%), followed by septic shock (0.90%), respiratory failure (0.32%). The mortality rate was 3.4%. Increasing age, the mortality rate increases. According to the season, the highest mortality rate is in the winter, followed by spring, autumn and summer (p < 0.001). 48.3% of patients died within 5 days of hospitalization. Age, fire, inhalation injury, dorsal burns, combined injuries, accompanying diseases, burn area, full-thickness burns, surgically are factors affecting death. Inhalation injury, full-thickness burns and accompanying diseases are the strongest factor of mortality.
Conclusion: The day of treatment is 16.84 days, the mortality rate is 3.4%, electric burns, prolonged fire burns on the most treatment. Age, causes of burns, inhalation injury, burnt locations, combined injuries, accompanying diseases, burn area, full-thickness
burns, surgical are factors that affect the patient's burns' outcomes.
