Abstract
Background: Burns are injuries to the skin that involve two main layers, namely the epidermis outside as a thin layer and the dermis inside as a thick layer. Burns can be associated with significant morbidity and mortality because burns are associated with immune reactions and inflammation, metabolic changes, and distributive shock and require a long process in the healing process. It is imperative that burns not only affect the physical health but also the mental health and quality of life of the patient. Objective: To determine the profile of basic data and clinical data of burn patients in children treated at Dr. Soetomo Hospital in 2020-2022. Methods: This study used secondary medical record data with a retrospective method and was presented descriptively. The study sample was taken by total sampling using all patients who met the inclusion criteria. Results: There were 44 child burn patients treated at RSUD Dr. Soetomo who met the inclusion criteria. Child burn patients were dominated by patients aged 0-5 years and males. It was found that the most common cause of burns in children was hot water, the most depth degree was degree IIB, the most location of burns on the upper extremities, the area of burns was 10-20%, the most severity degree was severe, and the majority of patients were treated for the <1 month. Patient outcome was dominated by patients discharged in a cured/improved condition.
