Clinical profile, management and risk factors for seizure-related burn injuries among patients with epilepsy in southwest China.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The epidemiological information associated with seizure-related burn injuries is lacking in China. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the clinical profile, management, outcome, and risk factors of burns that are directly caused by seizures among epileptic patients, and identify the epidemiological characteristics to develop effective preventive strategies.

Methods

This study was conducted between January 2002 and December 2022 in a large Chinese burn center. Data including clinical profile, wound treatment, and outcome were analyzed. A multiple linear regression was used to screen the risk factors for the length of hospital stay (LOS), and a multiple logistic regression was used to screen the contributory factors for the amputation.
