Burn injuries experienced by infants, children, and adolescents are prevalent and costly-psychologically, physically, and economically. Previous studies have acknowledged the dangers of pediatric burns
however, the literature was missing a thorough portrayal of the contemporary pediatric and adolescent burns landscape in the United States. The current study used 2019-2022 National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) data to describe nonfatal pediatric and adolescent burn cases, including prevalence, burn type, body parts affected, product involvement, and differences by age and sex. We identified 300,541 burn survivors among children 0-19 in the 2019-2022 NEISS data. Burn injuries were most experienced by children under 5, especially among 1- and 2-year-olds. More boys than girls were burn victims, with the sex difference most noticeable among the youngest and oldest age groups. Over 94 % of pediatric and adolescent burn cases were categorized as thermal, scald, or chemical. Scald burns were the only type that affected a higher percentage of girls than boys. Hot water was the item most often involved in pediatric and adolescent burn cases, and the hand was the body part most often affected. These findings both corroborate and extend the pediatric burns literature. Identifying the most frequent burn profiles by age, sex, type, body parts affected, and product involved among children and adolescents 0-19 in the United States enabled us to pinpoint risk factors and offer guidance on prevention.
