An epidemiological descriptive study of burn cases at Mahatma Gandhi Hospital, afliated with Dr. S.N. Medical College in Jodhpur City, aims to analyze the incidence, demographics, and characteristics of burn injuries in this region. Burns are a signicant global public health concern, causing around 265,000 deaths annually. A large portion of these fatalities occurs in low- and middleincome countries, with nearly half happening in the World Health Organization's South-East Asia Region. Burn injuries are the fourth most common type of trauma worldwide. In this study, researchers focus on collecting and analyzing data on burn patients treated at the hospital. The study aims to identify patterns related to age, gender, socioeconomic status, causes of burns, severity, and outcomes. Understanding these factors can help in developing targeted prevention strategies, improving treatment protocols, and allocating healthcare resources more effectively in the region. The ndings may also contribute to global data on burn injuries, highlighting the specic challenges faced in this area and suggesting potential interventions to reduce the incidence and severity of burns.
