为了确定伊朗非致命性烧伤的发病率和费用，对15-64岁的全国代表性样本进行了横断面家庭调查。通过面对面的访谈和电话，收集有关人口统计学、历史和烧伤费用的数据。烧伤年发病率估计为129.85/1000人。烧伤发生率较高的年轻人，女性和城市居民。最常见的烧伤描述如下：无薪工作（烧伤期间的活动）、家庭（烧伤地点）、热和热物质（烧伤机制）和上肢（烧伤部位）。烧伤的平均总费用（包括寻求医疗护理的受害者）为每例124美元。这项研究的主要结果表明，烧伤是伊朗的一个主要公共卫生问题。为了阻止这一重要的健康问题，必须制定一项全国性的烧伤预防和教育计划。
To determine the incidence and cost of non-fatal burns in Iran; this cross-sectional household survey of a nationally representative sample of 15-64 years old was conducted. Through face-to-face interviews and telephone calls, the data on the demographics, history and cost of burns were collected. The annual incidence rate of burns was estimated 129.85 per 1000 population. Burns occurred higher in younger age, female gender and urban residency. The most common burn description was as follows: unpaid work (activity during burn), home (place of burn), heat and hot substances (mechanism of burn) and upper limb (site of burn). The average total cost of burn includes victims seeking medical care was US$124 per case. The main findings of this study suggest that burns are a major public health concern in Iran. To stop this important health issue, a national program for burn prevention and education must be developed.
