Abstract
Background: Most studies about burn injury focus on admitted cases.
Aim: To compare outpatient and inpatient presentations at burn centers in Australia to
inform the establishment of a repository for outpatient burn injury.
Methods: Data for sequential outpatient presentations were collected at seven burn centers
in Australia between December 2010 and May 2011 and compared with inpatient admissions
from these centers recorded by the Burns Registry of Australia and New Zealand for the
corresponding period.
Results: There were 788 outpatient and 360 inpatient presentations. Pediatric outpatients
included more children
