However, there is a lack of epidemiological studies on burns in these countries, particularly in Latin American countries. Our aim was to analyze nationwide demographic, epidemiological and economic characteristics of hospitalized burn patients in Brazil.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A retrospective study was conducted including inpatients admitted with a diagnosis of burns (ICD\u201010:T20\u2013T31) from all hospitals in Brazil from 2000 to 2014. We calculated hospitalization and in\u2010hospital mortality rates. Length of stay (LoS), charges and premature mortality were also assessed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 412,541 burn hospitalizations were found, with a hospitalization rate of 14.56 hospitalizations\/100,000\u00a0inhabitants\/year. This rate is decreasing since 2003, mostly due to the reduction among children and elderly. Children below 5 years old accounted for 24% of all admissions. In\u2010hospital mortality rate was 8.1% and median LoS was 5\u00a0days. Mean hospitalization charge was 856\u00a0international dollars. Substantial regional discrepancies were found in several indicators.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this first Latin American nationwide study of burn patients, a decreasing trend of hospitalization rate and a low charge contrasted with a high in\u2010hospital mortality rate. This latter indicator, associated with a low LoS, may raise concerns regarding the quality of healthcare. Important discrepancies were found between regions, which may indicate important differences in regard to healthcare access and risk of burns. Targeting effective prevention, improving healthcare quality and providing more widespread and accurate burn registry are recommended.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268-017-3988-5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,27]],"date-time":"2017-03-27T20:06:03Z","timestamp":1490645163000},"page":"2006-2012","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Burden
