Background: burn is damage to the skin and other human tissue occurs after exposure to heat rnfrom different mechanism. It is significant general medical issue, because of it, an estimatedrn265 000 deaths occur each year globally. Countries of low and middle income are accountablernfor occurrences of more than 96% of severe fire-related burns. In Africa Fire-related mortalityrnrate for children under five is 32.9 per 100,000. Majority of burn victims who survived formrnthis accidental event left with permanent disabilities and scar. Moreover facing stigma andrnrejection.rnObjective: To assess survival status and predictor of mortality among pediatrics burn victimsrnadmitted to burn center from 2016-2019, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2020. rnMethods: An institution based retrospective cohort study deployed among 412 pediatrics burnrnvictims admitted to Yekatit 12 and AaBET Hospital burn centers from the 1rn of January 2016rnto the 30rnthrn of December 30, 2019, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Quantitative approach deployed.rnData collected from patient charts using systematic sampling with pretested data extractionrntool, entered using Epidata, and analyzed using STATA. Bivariate and multivariate Coxrnproportional hazard regression used to determine the predictors of mortality. Kaplan–Meierrncurves and log rank test was analyzed. rnResult: Four hundred twelve pediatrics burn victims admitted over the study period withrnmean age of 5.2 ±5.1SD years old. According to this study finding the median hospital stayrnfound to be 25(95%CI: 30.11, 36.66) and with mean of 33.38 (95%CI: 30.11, 36.66) days.rnThis study also revealed that 8.25 % died and from this, 55.89% were male. Full thicknessrn(AHR 2.51 (95% CI: 1.12, 5.62)), co morbidity while hospital stay (AHR 26.28 (95% CI:rn9.19, 75.16)), Nonsurgical intervention (AHR 34.40(9.80, 120.71) were significant predictors. rnConclusion and recommendation: Among total 8.4% of pediatrics, burn victims died duringrnfollow up period. The overall incidence rate of 2.4 per 1000 person day. Independentrnpredictors of mortality includes burned neck, those without surgical intervention, fullrnthickness depth of burn and disease developed after admission. More concern needed forrnchildren with predictors. rnst
