Very little is known about burn injuries at KATH in Ghana and thus epidemiological study and management of burns at KATH is imperative, hence the choice for this study to assess the trend and mechanism of burns at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital –KATH, Ghana for the 5-year period from May 2009 to April 2014. This study specifically has the object of determining the trend of burns, estimating the prevalence rate of burns and measuring the degree and total body surface area (TBSA) of burn victims at KATH. Further, study sought to estimate the survival rate and the main causes of burns presented at the burns unit at KATH KNUST 2016-02-02T14:50:29Z 2023-04-19T15:53:04Z 2016-02-02T14:50:29Z 2023-04-19T15:53:04Z 2015-11-02 Thesis https://ir.knust.edu.gh/handle/123456789/7950 en application/pdf |
