Epidemiological Investigation of Elderly Patients with Severe Burns at a Major Burn Center in Southwest China.

CONCLUSIONS At a major burn center in Southwest China, the incidence and mortality of elderly patients with severe burns displayed no downward trend. There are etiological characteristics of these age groups that should be considered for prevention. Meanwhile, multidisciplinary treatment in a hospital and an increase in the social support for the elderly population might improve outcomes. PMID: 31905188 [PubMed - in process]
