Categorical variables are presented as number (column frequency %), continuous variables are presented as median (interquartile range), and nonpandemic admission volumes are presented as number (2-year mean). COVID-19 pandemic group: (March 24, 2020–April 24, 2020) burn admissions; Nonpandemic group: (March 23, 2018–April 24, 2018 and March 23, 2019–April 24, 2019) burn admissions.
