Pediatric Burns in University Clinical Centre of Kosovo From 2011-2015.

The objective of this study was to describe the epidemiology of burn-related injuries in children <15 years in Kosovo, and compare incidence and cause of burns with our previous study conducted over the period 2005-2010 on children with burn injuries of the same age group. This was a retrospective study of pediatric patients (n=277) admitted to the University Clinical Centre of Kosovo between 1 January 2011 and 31 December 2015. We analyzed data on gender, age, cause, location, burn size (TBSA), depth of injury, seasonality, duration of hospitalization and treatment of burn-related injuries, collected from the medical records available in the archives of the University Clinical Centre of Pristina.

Epidemiology of burn injuries in Kosovo: a 10-year review.

Burns are the most devastating form of trauma. They are among the most devastating injuries a child can sustain, and coupled with prolonged aggressive and non-aggressive medical and nursing therapies, can result in long-term physical and psychological concerns. Data were obtained from medical records of burned patients treated in our clinic from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2015.

Electrical burn injuries of 246 patients treated at the University Clinical Center of Kosovo during the period 2005-2010.

Background: In the developing world, the incidence of electrical injuries has increased in the past few years. Electrical injuries represent approximately 5 % of all burn admissions to burn units in the United States.

Objective: The objective of this study is to understand the causes of electrical burns in our population, sex, age, duration of treatment, distribution of electrical burns by season, accompanying other traumatic injuries with electrical burns, entry lesions of high-voltage electrocution, location of injuries, the methods of treatment, duration of treatment, and mortality.

Physical therapy and splinting after flexor tendon repair in zone II.

Introduction: Early physical therapy and splinting after flexor tendon repair in zone II is very important to improve tendon healing, increase tensile strength, decrease adhesion formation, early return of function and less stiffness and deformity. We conducted a study to observe and record the results of early active mobilization of repaired flexor tendons in zone II.

Materials And Method: This study reports the results of physical therapy and splinting which was applied to 75 patients with 76 digits after flexor tendon repair in zone II, treated at the Department of Plastic Surgery and Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Clinic, Pristine-Kosovo.
