Effect of (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic on burn demography and experiences of burn physicians in the adaptation process
Abstract
Objective: Starting in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, COVID-19 which was defined as a severe acute respiratory syndrome has become a global epidemic in a short period of time. Burn is a type of trauma during which the immune system is weakened due to changes in the leukocyte-lymphocyte distribution in the clinical presentation of blood, decreased chemotaxis and phagocytosis activity of granulocytes, decreased T cell activity and changes in their distribution, changes in humoral immune elements , and being susceptible to bacterial wound infections and is very common in all countries of the world.
We aimed to evaluate the effects of COVID 19 pandemic on burn patients demographically and to share our experiences on preventing COVID 19 infection which may be superposed to burn patients, and on preventing health workers and public health, and our new treatment algorithm with our colleagues from different nations.
Method: We statistically interpreted the effects of the new life process that entered our lives with applications such as curfew, closure of workplaces or slowing down work during the pandemic process aiming at controlling the infection on the differences in the demographic distribution of burn demography and its sociology by comparing the data of 3 consecutive years.
Results: While the data of the years did not show significance according to the months, a significant difference was found between the data of the previous 2 years and the data of 2020 between the gender, the types of burn and the time of first admission to the hospital.
Conclusions: We believe that the fact that all burn physicians are experiencing similar things on the international platform is going to enable us to create our algorithms in a short time for a common treatment and follow-up approach to burn patients during the pandemic.
