The American Journal of Surgery, 1992
During a 16-year period, 547 patients who were older than 64 years of age with a mean total body surface area (TBSA) (third-degree burns) of 25% were treated. Etiologies were flame/flash in 81% of patients, scald in 11%, solids in 7%, and electrical/chemical in 1%. Seventeen percent of patients had significant causal factors.

There does not appear to be any validity to the observation of different etiologies or different modes of therapy that are applicable to ...
