Editor's Notes
Numbers are important if you are going to run clinical trials
We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of our prospectively-collected paediatric burns database. Sampling data from July 2013 to June 2016, a total of 2484 patients with thermal burns and known first aid were included in the analysis.
Again, slightly less than one-third of the patients received adequate first aid at the scene of the injury. Of all the patients referred to the burns center, however, approximately 71% had been given a full 20 minutes of CRW within three hours of their injury. This study focused on the period following the provision of any first aid by caregivers, when most patients received treatment from paramedics, general practitioners, referral hospitals, and/or the childrenās hospital.
