Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: treatment of severe burn injury generally requires enormous human and material resources including specialized intensive care, staged surgery, and continued restoration. This contributes to the enormous burden on patients and their families. The cost of burn treatment is influenced by many factors including the demographic and clinical characteristics of the patient. This study aimed to determine the costs of burn care and its associated predictive factors in Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, Ghana.
UNASSIGNED: an analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among 65 consenting adult patients on admission at the Burns Centre of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital. Demographic and clinical characteristics of patients as well as the direct cost of burns treatment were obtained. Multiple regression analysis was done to determine the predictors of the direct cost of burn care.
UNASSIGNED: a total of sixty-five (65) participants were enrolled in the study with a male-to-female ratio of 1.4: 1 and a mean age of 35.9 ± 14.6 years. Nearly 85% sustained between 10-30% total body surface area burns whilst only 6.2% (4) had burns more than 30% of total body surface area. The mean total cost of burns treatment was GHS 22,333.15 (USD 3,897.58). Surgical treatment, wound dressing and medication charges accounted for 45.6%, 27.5% and 9.8% of the total cost of burn respectively.
UNASSIGNED: the direct costs of burn treatment were substantially high and were predicted by the percentage of total body surface area burn and length of hospital stay.

摘要：
■严重烧伤的治疗通常需要大量的人力和物力，包括专门的重症监护，分期手术,继续恢复。这给患者及其家庭带来了巨大的负担。烧伤治疗的费用受许多因素影响，包括患者的人口统计学和临床特征。这项研究旨在确定Korle-Bu教学医院的烧伤护理成本及其相关预测因素，加纳。
■在Korle-Bu教学医院的Burns中心对65名同意入院的成年患者进行了分析性横断面研究。获得了患者的人口统计学和临床特征以及烧伤治疗的直接成本。进行多元回归分析以确定烧伤护理直接成本的预测因素。
■共有65名参与者参加了这项研究，男女比例为1.4:1，平均年龄为35.9±14.6岁。近85％的人持续10-30％的全身表面积烧伤，而只有6.2％（4）的烧伤超过30％的全身表面积。烧伤治疗的平均总费用为GHS22,333.15（3,897.58美元）。手术治疗,伤口敷料和药物费用占45.6%，分别占燃烧总费用的27.5%和9.8%。
■烧伤治疗的直接成本非常高，并且可以通过烧伤的总表面积百分比和住院时间来预测。
