Parameters and criteria in the evaluation of the "necessity" of a burn center in an industrial and residential high-density region: Northwestern Lombardy

This study, performed at Ospedale di Circolo in Varese, stresses the high frequency of burn injuries in northwestern Lombardy and the high risk of new accidents; we also want to emphasize that the burn centers available in Lombardy are not sufficient, and according to the data that has been collected, they would be unable to cope with the projected number of accidents that could be associated with burn injuries.
