Data from the Program for the Medicalization of Information Systems in Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics, and Dentistry (PMS I-MCO) for the years 2009 through 2014 were analyzed to quantify and characterize hospitalized burn victims residing in metropolitan France. In 2014, 8,120 patients were hospitalized for burns in mainland France, representing an incidence rate of 12.3 per 100,000 inhabitants. This rate is similar to those reported in the literature. The characteristics of hospitalized patients are consistent with those in the literature: a predominance of males, high incidence among children under 5 years of age, and the majority of burns caused by hot liquids. Over the 2009–2014 period, a decline in incidence was observed: 13.8 per 100,000 in 2009 compared to 12.3 per 100,000 in 2014. This decline occurred against a backdrop of various prevention measures implemented in France in recent years: reduction of the maximum hot water temperature from taps, mandatory installation of standalone smoke detectors (DAA F), etc. The results of the analyses show that more needs to be done in terms of burn prevention: the number of patients hospitalized for burns remained high in 2014, even though burns are most often preventable through the adoption of simple safety precautions at the individual level or by strengthening the protective regulatory and legislative framework established by the government.
