The current study examines the 10\u2010year epidemiological profile of burn hospitalisations, hospital treatment cost and health outcomes by age group for children \u226416\u2009years in Australia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>National, population\u2010based, linked hospital and mortality data from 1 July 2002 to 30 June 2012 were used to identify burn\u2010related hospitalisations.

The age\u2010standardised hospitalisation rate was 54.4 per 100\u2009000 (95% confidence interval (CI): 53.7\u201355.1). Children aged 1\u20135 years had the highest burn hospitalisation rate (105.6 per 100\u2009000; 95% CI: 103.8\u2013107.3).

Contact with heat and other substances, hot drinks, food, fats and cooking oils was the most common burn mechanism, and the home was the most common place of occurrence for children \u226410 years. Exposure to the ignition of highly flammable material was the most common burn mechanism for children aged 11\u201316\u2009years. There were 7260 hospital readmissions within 28\u2009days and 11 deaths within 30\u2009days of the index burn hospitalisation.
