Background: Burn injuries are still a major global public health concern in terms of morbidity, death, and long-term impairment. Health officials in Iraq worry about burn injuries since there are little public data and extensive investigations and the problem's prevalence is unknown. The aim of study is to examines the epidemiology of burn patients, their conditions, models, and hospital morbidity and mortality.

Method: This study evaluated 439 burn patients at Baqubah Teaching Hospital, leveraging detailed questionnaires to understand epidemiological traits, treatment outcomes, and seasonal trends of burn incidents from 2014 to 2015. Utilizing the Rule of Nine for assessing the extent of burns, the research provided a comprehensive overview of patient demographics, burn severity, and recovery patterns, aiming to enhance future prevention and treatment strategies.

Results: This study analyzed 439 burn patients admitted to Baqubah Teaching Hospital, revealing a high incidence of burns in children under 5 years (44.19%) and a predominance of injuries to the upper extremities (55.8%). The majority of burns were of the 2nd & 3rd degree (96.12%), primarily caused by fire (77.22%), and occurred mostly at home (85.42%). Seasonal patterns showed a higher occurrence in winter (29.61%), and significant outcomes included a notable rate of patients being discharged on their responsibility (28.92%).

Conclusion: Burn injuries in Iraq notably affect young children and housewives, primarily due to accidental exposure to traditional cooking sources, emphasizing the critical need for enhanced safety education and preventive measures within households.
