RESUMO

The aim of this study is to identify the prevalence of stunted growth in Syrian refugee children with chronic burn injuries and to compare it to other children (±burn) of similar socioeconomic status. This is a retrospective medical chart review conducted on 142 Syrian refugee children (≤18 years of age) who have sustained war-related and nonwar-related chronic burn injuries between 2014 and 2020. Stunted growth was measured using the height-for-age z score. The majority of burn injuries were among children below 5 years of age. The prevalence of stunting was 9.2% in our sample, with an overall mean z-score of -0.491 (SD = 1.1). There was no statistically significant difference in z-scores between males and females. The majority of stunted patients are those who sustain their burn injuries at an early age. Early management of burn injuries is key in preventing adverse outcomes associated with stunting. Further research, planning, funding, and targeted interventions are required by stakeholders to alleviate the burden of stunting in the pediatric refugee population, along with the health and economic consequences that it entails.
