['Although the feet involve a small percentage of the total body surface area, they can have major effects in daily life, caused by prolonged bed rest, hospitalization and high risk of both early and late complications. The aim of this study was to define the aetiology, treatment and outcomes of foot burns, with special interest in paediatric patients, patients with diabetic disease and burns acquired at the workplace.', 'This is a retrospective cohort study of 82 patients who were admitted to one of the three burn centres in the Netherlands during the period 2004 to 2013. The patients had a median age of 43.5\xa0years (range 0.01-85.9), and included 14 children and 8 diabetics. Data were collected from the hospital records.', 'Scalding was the most common cause of the injury. Almost all patients required surgical management. It is notable that most of hospitalized patients (82\xa0%) were not admitted on the day of injury. Children had a significantly shorter length of stay compared to adults (p\u2009=\u20090.01). The eight patients with diabetes had a significantly longer length of hospital stay, more complications and more often residual defects compared to the non-diabetic patients. In 13 patients, the injury took place at work. Half of these burns were caused by scalding, and foot burns caused by chemicals at work were rare (two patients).'] Do epidemiology of foot burns in a Dutch burn centre?
