A retrospective review identified burned-and-battered adults, often male victims of domestic scald injuries. Recognizing this unrecognized patient group is crucial for medical, legal, and social interventions.

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Forensic Medicine

Background:

  • A previously unrecognized group of patients, burned-and-battered adults, has been identified.
  • Adult abuse, particularly scald injuries, is underrecognized in clinical settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify the characteristics of burned-and-battered adults admitted to a burn center.
  • To raise awareness of the prevalence and nature of adult abuse involving burns.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 41 adult patients admitted to a burn center over a two-year period.
  • Analysis of patient demographics, injury patterns, and circumstances of injury.

Main Results:

  • The typical victim was male, assaulted by a female partner during a domestic quarrel.

  • Scald injuries were common, affecting the trunk and upper extremities, with an average burn size of 14% total body surface area.
  • Four patients (approximately 10% of burn center admissions) died from their injuries.

    • Conclusions:

    • Burned-and-battered adults represent a significant and potentially underdiagnosed population.
    • Increased recognition of this patient group is essential for implementing appropriate medical, legal, and social interventions.
