BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to perform a retrospective analysis of the causes of burns observed in @entity1 in the eastern provinces of @entity233 . METHOD: In this study, @entity1 were studied retrospectively with regard to their age, sex, cause of burns, seasonal variations, social and economic factors, length of hospital stay, burned body surface area, medical history, site of injury, and mortality. RESULTS: A total of 125 @entity1 undergoing inpatient treatment were male, (53.2%) and 110 were female (46.8%). The most common causes of burns in @entity1 treated on an inpatient basis were @entity4808 (65.5%) and tandir burns (15.7%). The mean total body surface area of all the @entity1 was 12.17+9.86%. When the @entity1 were grouped according to tandir, cauldron, and other burn causes, a significant difference was seen between the in burn percentages caused by tandir and cauldron burns and other causes (p < 0.001). Higher burn percentages were seen for cauldron burns than for tandir burns (p < 0.05). The average length of hospital stay was 17.67+13.64 days. When the @entity1 were grouped according to burn causes (tandir, cauldron, and others), a significant difference was determined between the hospitalization periods of @entity1 with tandir burns and other burn causes (p = 0.001) The most commonly proliferating microorganism in burned areas was @entity796 (20.4%). Of the 235 @entity1 , 61 were treated in operating rooms. During the 24-month period of the study, 2 of the 235 @entity1 died (0.85%). CONCLUSION: Pediatric burns in the eastern part of @entity233 are different from those in other parts of @entity233 , as well as in other countries. Due to the lifestyle of the region, tandir and cauldron burns, which cause extensive burn areas and high morbidity, are frequently seen in @entity1 . Therefore, precautions and educational programs related to the use of tandirs and cauldrons are needed in this region.
