Abstract: The incidence rate of hospitalized burn injuries in upstate New York in 1974 was 26.6/100,000. Marked variation among regions within the State was found. A minimum estimate of the total volume of burn related hospitalizations was also derived and was found to be consistent with other estimates. The absence of a measurable indicator of severity is noted. High incidence rates were found in the young, in males, and in Blacks.
