| Popis: | BackgroundPediatric burns are common, especially in underdeveloped countries, and these can physically affect the children involved and have an impact on their mental health. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of pediatric burns in underdeveloped minority areas of China.MethodsCase information from 192 children was collected from outpatient and inpatient clinics using a survey questionnaire. These included 90 pediatric burn cases and 102 controls who were children without burns. A stepwise logistic regression analysis was used to determine the risk factors for pediatric burns in order to establish a model. The goodness-of-fit for the model was assessed using the Hosmer and Lemeshow test as well as receiver operating characteristic and internal calibration curves. A nomogram was then used to analyze the contribution of each influencing factor to the pediatric burns model.ResultsSeven variables, including gender, age, ethnic minority, the household register, mother’s employment status, mother’s education and number of children, were analyzed for both groups of children. Of these, age, ethnic minority, mother’s employment status and number of children in a household were found to be related to the occurrence of pediatric burns using univariate logistic regression analysis (p 0.2 and variance inflation factor mother’s employment status > number of children > ethnic minority.ConclusionsThis study showed that there are several risk factors strongly correlated to pediatric burns, including age, ethnic minority, the number of children in a household and mother’s employment status. Government officials should direct their preventive approach to tackling the problem of pediatric burns by promoting awareness of these findings. |
