We describe the trends and severity of deliberate scald injuries from assaults within prisons presenting to Pinderfields Hospital in the United Kingdom. Data were obtained using local records of the International Burn Injury Database. Between 2003 and 2019, the hospital's Department of Plastic Surgery and Burns treated 22 cases from at least seven prisons, with 20 cases occurring in the last 4 years. Boiling water was used in most cases. Other substances included syrups of boiling water and sugar, and hot fat. Mean total body surface area was 2.8%, most commonly the face, neck, shoulders, and anterior chest. National data identified 267 cases with a similar rising trend. These injuries increase logistical and financial burdens on our burns service due to the need for added security and police escorts during treatment. "Copycat attacks" within same prisons, sometime on the same day, raise concerns that incidence of these injuries is likely to increase. Outreach nursing and telemedicine facilities may minimize the challenges during the management period.

英国监狱中的烫伤袭击事件。

我们描述了英国平德菲尔德医院出现的监狱内袭击故意烫伤的趋势和严重程度。数据是使用国际烧伤数据库的当地记录获得的。2003年至2019年期间，该医院整形外科和烧伤科收治了来自至少7所监狱的22例病例，其中20例发生在过去4年里。大多数情况下使用沸水。其他物质包括沸水和糖的糖浆以及热脂肪。平均全身表面积为 2.8%，最常见的是面部、颈部、肩部和前胸部。全国数据显示，有 267 例病例具有类似的上升趋势。由于治疗期间需要加强安全和警察护送，这些伤害增加了我们烧伤服务的后勤和财务负担。在同一天的某个时间，同一监狱内发生的“模仿袭击”引发了人们的担忧，即这些伤害的发生率可能会增加。外展护理和远程医疗设施可以最大限度地减少管理期间的挑战。
