Hospitalizations related to burn injuries are common. Prolonged hospitalization associated with burn treatment can result in increased resource utilization, leading to higher costs. Thus, it is essential to investigate these areas to reduce costs. The study investigated the morbidity and length of hospital stay of paediatric burn patients, as well as calculated the social security costs of hospitalization and treatment. The retrospective observational descriptive study examined the medical records of 774 paediatric patients treated in a burn intensive care unit at a tertiary medical faculty hospital between 01 March 2019 and 31 March 2022. The invoice records of payments made by the Social Security Institution to the hospital in return for health services provided to patients were examined. The healthcare costs were calculated. A total of 57.6% of the participants were boys and 79.2% were between the ages of 1\u20134. About 90% of the cases involved burns with a total body surface area (TBSA) of less than 20% and a 2nd\u2010degree burn depth. Scalding was the most common cause of burns (88.2%). Among all patients, the mortality rate was 2.1% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200916). The mean length of hospital stay was 10.29\u2009\u00b1\u20099.59\u2009days. The mean cost per day was 212.02\u2009\u00b1\u2009190.94 US dollars ($US), and the cost per 1% TBSA was 241.70\u2009\u00b1\u2009301.32 $US. According to the causes of burn injury, the mean cost of electricity was 5000.77\u2009\u00b1\u20098101.85 $US, fire 4818.02\u2009\u00b1\u20095852.22 $US, and chemical 3285.49\u2009\u00b1\u20094503.2 $US were observed in the first 3 ranks respectively. According to this study, paediatric burn cases occur due to preventable causes, and even though the mortality rate was low, the severity of burns, TBSA%, and presence of complications caused prolonged lengths of hospital stays, which caused social security costs to rise.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/iwj.14385","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,4]],"date-time":"2023-09-04T22:28:07Z","timestamp":1693866487000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Investigation of morbidity, length of stay, and healthcare costs of inpatient paediatric burns"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7466-6628","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"H\u0131d\u0131r","family":"Sari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Dicle University Faculty of Medicine  Diyarbak\u0131r Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5714-0499","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mehmet Fatih","family":"Akkoc","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Dicle University Faculty of Medicine  Diyarbak\u0131r Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2896-4912","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zehra","family":"Kilin\u00e7","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Dicle University Faculty of Medicine  Diyarbak\u0131r Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1554-1892","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fatma Nur","family":"Dayanir \u00c7ok","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Dicle University Faculty of Medicine  Diyarbak\u0131r Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4797-7017","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mehmet","family":"\u00d6zel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine Diyarbak\u0131r Gazi Yasargil Training and Research Hospital, University of Health Sciences  Diyarbak\u0131r Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1553-469X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Volkan","family":"\u00d6zel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Dicle University Faculty of Medicine  Diyarbak\u0131r Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","unstructured":"Burns.World Health Organization.
