abstract = {This study examines the demographic and epidemiological
data of burn injuries of children treated from 1987 till
1998 in the burn centre Aachen. In addition, the scars and
the psychological adjustment in children after a severe burn
injury $(>=10\%$ TBSA = total burn surface area) were
investigated. Approximately $30-40\%$ of all burn injuries
happen to children. Burns are the second reason of
accidental death in children under the age of 4 and the
third for older children. Although the expertise of burn
care has increased, one of the most important aspects in the
treatment of burn injuries is the prevention of these
accidents. Our epidemiological study provides necessary
information for strategies to prevent childhood burn
accidents by identifying the typical burn victim and the
predisposing factors of burn injuries. By means of the
Vancouver Scar Scale we examined the scars and the
correlating predictors of scar formation after a severe
pediatric burn injury. Older children at point of the
injury, full thickness burn injuries and injuries in the
near of articulations have a tendency to scars with worse
dimension. The psychological adjustment of the children
suffering a severe burn injury with $>=10\%$ TBSA was also
examined by means of psychological questionnaires. The aim
was to identify predictors influencing the psychological
outcome according to burn related and psychosocial
variables. At the beginning of the study we assumed that the
children surviving a severe burn injury suffer of
psychological problems. Fortunately, we found out that the
children do not suffer from psychological disorders and that
their life is worth living. Nevertheless, we picked out some
children with posttraumatic disorders and a worse
psychological adjustment. This emphasises the need for
continuous follow-up examinations even years after a burn
injury.},
