Effectiveness of prevention programmes on the rate of burn injuries in children: a systematic review

Conclusion Some prevention programmes appear to be an effective manner to reduce the number of burn injuries in children. However, it is essential to interpret the results of the included studies cautiously, as several forms of biases may have influenced the observed outcomes. The research and evidence on this subject is still very limited. Therefore, it is of great importance that future studies will be evaluated on a decrease in burns and bias will be prevented. Especially in low-income countries, where most of the burns in children occur and the need for effective prevention campaigns is vital.
