衡量健康问题的程度和影响是能够适当解决问题的关键。本综述使用全球疾病负担研究框架内的现有信息来估计手部烧伤的疾病负担。GBD表明，自1990年以来，与烧伤有关的疾病负担下降了约30%。GBD方法尚未专门应用于手部烧伤，但根据现有数据，估计世界上约有1800万人患有手部烧伤后遗症。
Measuring the extent and impact of a health problem is key to being able to address it appropriately. This review uses available information within the framework of the Global Burden of Disease studies to estimate the disease burden due to burn injuries of the hands. The GBD indicates that since 1990 there has been an approximately 30% decrease in the disease burden related to burn injuries. The GBD methods have not been applied specifically to hand burns, but from available data, it is estimated that about 18 million people in the world suffer from sequelae of burns to the hands.
