    AbstractA retrospective multifactorial epidemiological study of pediatric patients admitted to the National Burns Center was undertaken, since January 1995 to December 2000. Nine hundred sixty-nine patients were admitted. The objective of this study was to describe the burns characteristics of different pediatric age groups. Scalds were the main cause of burns in the youngest group - less than 7-year age, vs. flame, which was one of the mains causes of burn in the elder group. The home was the most common site of injury - 93.4%. The mean patient age was 3.43+/-0.12 (range from 6 months to 16 years). The mean percentage body surface area burned was 8.87+/-0.28 percent.
