This disruptive effect has been shown to include changes in epidemiology of burn injuries. This study therefore aimed to determine the impact of covid-19 on acute burn presentation at the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan. This was a retrospective study carried out between April 1, 2019 and March 31, 2021. The period was divided into two: April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020 and April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021. Data obtained from the burn unit registry were analyzed using the Scientific Package For Social Sciences version 25. The only statistically significant finding from this study was the marked reduction in burn ICU admission during the pandemic (P &amp;lt; 0.001). A total of 144 patients presented to the burn intensive care unit at UCH, Ibadan during the period under review with 92 patients in the prepandemic year, and 52 patients in the pandemic year. Patient group from 0- to 9-year-olds representing 42% in prepandemic, and 30.8% in the pandemic period was the most affected age group. Scald was predominantly among the pediatric age group in both groups. Males were more likely to suffer flame burn in both study periods with a near gender equilibration during the pandemic. Burn injury during the pandemic resulted in more total body surface area burned. The lockdown effect of the pandemic resulted in a significant reduction in acute burn admissions at the UCH, Ibadan.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jbcr\/irad079","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,26]],"date-time":"2023-05-26T14:55:48Z","timestamp":1685112948000},"page":"93-97","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["The Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic on Acute Burn Admissions at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"45","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0812-5388","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Olayinka A","family":"Olawoye","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery, University College Hospital, Ibadan , Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8443-8151","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chinsunum P","family":"Isamah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery, University College Hospital, Ibadan , Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2873-5028","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Izegaegbe O","family":"Obadan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery, University College Hospital, Ibadan , Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1596-2061","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Samuel A","family":"Ademola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery, University College Hospital, Ibadan , Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8208-6463","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rotimi O","family":"Aderibigbe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery, University College Hospital, Ibadan , Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6622-5152","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Afieharo I","family":"Michael","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery, University College Hospital, Ibadan , Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6736-5774","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ayodele O","family":"Iyun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery, University College Hospital, Ibadan , Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Odunayo M","family":"Oluwatosin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery, University College Hospital, Ibadan , Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024012012000176300_CIT0001","author":"WHO"},{"key":"2024012012000176300_CIT0002","author":"WHO"},{"key":"2024012012000176300_CIT0003","author":"CDC"},{"key":"2024012012000176300_CIT0004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"218","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijid.2020.06.067","article-title":"Coronavirus outbreak in Nigeria: Burden, and socio-medical response during the first 100 days","volume":"98","author":"Amzat","year":"2020","journal-title":"Int J Infect Dis"},{"key":"2024012012000176300_CIT0005","author":"Presidential taskforce on Covid-19"},{"key":"2024012012000176300_CIT0006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"399","DOI":"10.1016\/j.hlpt.2020.09.004","article-title":"Easing of lockdown measures in Nigeria: Implications for the healthcare system","volume":"9","author":"Ridwan","year":"2020","journal-title":"Health Policy Technol"},{"key":"2024012012000176300_CIT0007","first-page":"7","article-title":"Changing Pattern of Burn Epidemiology and the Compliance Factor in Management at Ibadan","volume":"4","author":"Fasika","year":"1997","journal-title":"Niger Postgrad Med J"},{"key":"2024012012000176300_CIT0008","article-title":"A five-year review of burn injuries in Irrua","volume":"171","author":"Dongo","year":"2007","journal-title":"BMC Health Serv Res"},{"key":"2024012012000176300_CIT0009","first-page":"271","article-title":"Burn injuries in Enugu, Nigeria","volume":"7","author":"Jibrum","year":"2005","journal-title":"Niger J Surg"},{"key":"2024012012000176300_CIT0010","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"90","DOI":"10.1016\/j.burnso.2017.12.001","article-title":"Pattern of burns in a population presented to Cairo University hospitals over one year;
