BURNS , 1993, vol. 19, n° 3, p. 192-197 Doc n°: 68827 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : DA452 - BRULURES A retrospective analysis of 812 patients admitted to the Ross Tilley Burn Centre between 1984 and 1992 resulted in 37 cases of burn injuries which were directly related to premorbid disabilities. The majority of these burns (83.8 per cent) occurred in the patient's home, most commonly as scald injuries in the bath tub, the shower, or following hot water spills. Nineteen patients were male, 17 were female. The medium age was 58 years. Six patients had spinal cord disorders, four had traumatic cord damage, two had spina bifida. Six patients had seizure disorders. Five of these patients had been taking antiseizure medications, but all had subtherapeutic blood levels on admission to hospital. Two patients had diabetes mellitus with peripheral neuropathies. Langue : ANGLAIS Tiré à part : OUI Identifiant basis : 1994090043 |
