291 seniors were hospitalized in Prague Burn Centre from 2005 to 2008, the female to male ratio was 1:0.77. The average age of admitted seniors increased from the 70 to 75 years without the rising of mortality. The etiology of burns, their localizationsand depth, TBSA distribution, the occurrence of associated diseases, the average of hospital stay were without significant variation during period 2005 - 2008. We can observe the significant rising in use of radical surgery methods (p > 0.10), necrectomyand autotransplantation in comparison with the conservative methods.
