Overview

Retrospective study examines treatment effects on pediatric hand burns, indicating emerging rehabilitation needs.

Key Points

  • This study aims to investigate treatment patterns and long-term outcomes of pediatric hand burns, focusing on scar contracture and subsequent therapies.
  • Retrospective cohort analysis of patients under 18 with hand burns from January 2021 to December 2024.
  • Variables included demographics, treatment types, and complications.
  • Statistical analyses were conducted using t-tests, Fisher’s exact tests, and multivariable logistic regressions in R.
  • 475 pediatric burn patients assessed, with 158 cases involving hand injuries.
  • Of those, 106 required hospitalization, and complications included seroma, graft loss, and 14 contractures observed.
  • Burn depth significantly predicted contracture formation and further intervention needs.
