- Abstract
Aim: to analyze the evolution of hospitalizations and the hospital mortality rate of burn victims in Brazil, in the period 2007- 2016. Method: retrospective observational study, using data from the Hospital Information System of the Unified Health System. The chi-square test was used, estimating the relative risk of death. Results: There was a higher risk of death from burns resulting from exposure to smoke, fire and flames (RR 2.3; 95% CI 2.25; 2.41), in the Southeast (RR 1.4; 95% CI 1, 36; 1.44) and in the elderly aged 80 and over (RR 4.9; 95% CI 4.74; 5.08). Hospitalizations and hospital mortality due to exposure to electric current, radiation and the extreme temperatures and pressures of the environment (84.1% and 78.8%), in the south and southeast regions (50.4%), in the 20 to 59 years old (58.2%) and male (68.9%). Conclusions: there was an increase in hospital admissions and a hospital mortality rate due to burns over the years, with important sociodemographic and geographical differences, revealing important particularities of burn accidents. The importance of knowing this series in more depth is emphasized, since such knowledge is essential for the discussion of health policies of a preventive and assistance nature.
