Annual tap water scald burns in US exact high personal and financialcosts

Nor do they measure societal costs; impact on future productivity; pain and suffering; or other costs frequently associated with injuries among those severely injured, point out the researchers. Validated risk scoring suggests that around half of patients were at low risk of death and nearly 1 in 5 at major and extreme risk of death.
