Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical-epidemiological profile of children victims of burns and the dynamics of laboratory markers. Methods: Cross-sectional, retrospective, analytical research, analyzing electronic medical records of 263 burn victims treated at an emergency hospital in the Brazilian Midwest from July 2015 to July 2019. Results: The mean age was 3, 7 years old, predominantly victims of scalds on the trunk and upper limbs, being more frequent, medium and major burns. Laboratory tests indicate a statistically significant relationship between burn extension and lower values in the red series, leukocytosis with a tendency to shift to the left, electrolyte disturbances, low albumin values and high values of inflammatory mediators such as C-Reactive Protein. The clinical-epidemiological profile of these children has a statistically significant relationship with laboratory tests. Conclusion: The different trajectories of the disease evolution were identified, helping the team to predict the events that follow the hospitalization of the burnt child and its evolution, both clinical and laboratory, supporting the creation of care and conduct protocols.
