Reconstruction in Pediatric Burns
摘要
The incidence of pediatric burns (<18 years old) in Taiwan, according to data from the Childhood Burn Foundation Taiwan ROC, was about 33.4%. The incidence of reconstruction needed for this age group was also about the same. From the data presented in Singapore in 2006, there was an average of 36.3% (patient number: 2,833/7,795) of pediatric burns (<18 years old) in the Linkou Burn Center (LBC), Chang Gung Memorial Hospital (CGMH) from 1986 to 2004 [1]. Among these, one-third of the patients needed reconstruction. This is a large reconstruction group and is of concern.
