Introduction: Scalds from hot tap water can have devastating consequences and lifelong impact on survivors. The aims of this study were to (i) describe the frequency, demographic profile, injury event characteristics, and in-hospital outcomes for people with tap water scalds admitted to Australian and New Zealand burn centres; and (ii) determine whether variation was present in the frequency and epidemiological characteristics of tap water scalds between jurisdictions.
Methods: Data were extracted from the Burns Registry of Australia and New Zealand for people with tap water scalds admitted to Australian or New Zealand burn centres between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2018.
Background: Burn injuries to workers can have a devastating impact, however knowledge of the epidemiology of work-related burn injuries in Australia and New Zealand is limited.
Purpose: To describe epidemiological characteristics of work-related burn injuries in Australia and New Zealand, and to compare these with non-work-related burns.
Methods: Adult burn injury data, 2009-2016, were extracted from the Burns Registry of Australia and New Zealand.
Background: Clinical quality indicators are routinely used to benchmark and drive improvements in healthcare. There is a dearth of standardised clinical quality indicators established for management of burns that allow quality of care to be monitored and benchmarked across Australia and New Zealand.
Method: Using published quality indicator development processes and clinician experience, the Bi-National Burn Registry (Bi-NBR) working party developed quality indicators for burn care to be included as routine data items in the Bi-NBR.
