N2  - The National Burn Repository (NBR) is divided into 4 regions for the purposes of data collection and reporting. Based on the 2010 US census data, the states that represent the southern region have the highest overall population; 102,657,250 people vs. 64,377,806 for the north. Despite being almost twice as heavily populated, the south has fewer NBR entries than the north, 53,629 vs 62,499. The south also has significantly fewer entries than would be expected based on its relative population size compared to the entire United States (Chi Square Test, p<0.001). This finding may represent a disparity in access to burn centers in the South, fewer total burns, or a reporting bias.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
