Data were extracted from the burn research data center and analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses to identify independent survival predictors in children aged 7\u201314 years over a 14\u2010year period admitted to the Amir\u2010al\u2010Moemenin and Ghotb al\u2010Din\u2010e\u2010Shirazi burn hospitals.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of the 8510 patients admitted, 571 were aged 7\u201314 years, with a male\u2010to\u2010female ratio of 2.2 and a mean age of 10.1 years. Flame burns were the most common (51.7%), with winter being the peak season (27.7%). Accidental burns (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.003) in outdoor places (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and urban areas were significantly more common among males. Females had a significantly higher mean TBSA%. Over 85% of patients were released or discharged, with a mortality rate of 13.2%. TBSA% in flame burns and LOS in chemical and electrical burns were significantly higher (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Univariate analysis identified age, male gender, accidental occurrence, rural living, TBSA%, and LOS as significant predictors of survival. Multivariate analysis confirmed TBSA% and LOS as strong survival predictors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Flame burns are the primary etiology, occurring mostly outdoors, in younger males living in urban areas, and predominantly accidental.
