| Popis: | We examine herein the demographic characteristics, implemented treatment methods, infection rates, and morbidities of patients with tandir burns from two burn centers.In this study, gender, age, socioeconomic status, total body burn ratio, burn area, burn level, microorganisms isolated in burn wounds, implemented treatments, length of hospital stay, debridement and grafting operations, extremity amputations, and mortality among burn patients were investigated.Tandir burn patients were treated in the hospital for an average of 27.6 ± 9.5 days, while non-tandir burn patients were treated for a period of 16.5 ± 12.5 days. A significant difference was found between the hospitalization periods of the two groups (p0.001). Similarly, while the total burn surface area average of the tandir burn patients was 17.4% ± 12.3%, the total burn surface area average of the non-tandir burn patients was 10.6% ± 9.9%, and a significant difference was found between the two (p0.001).In our study, it was determined that tandir burns were deeper than other burns, and that hospitalization durations were longer than for other burn causes. Surgical intervention was also more prevalent among patients with tandir burn than among those with other burn causes. |
