In terms of mortality and morbidity and disability burns are emerging as a major child health problem in Mongolia. This trend is similar to many other developing and low incoming countries. To develop effective burn prevention programmes, information on its prevalence and etiology are necessary. To describe the epidemiology of child burns in UB, identify the trends of burn occurrence, the vulnerable population and etiology. Descriptive statistic and one-way analysis of variance were employed. The study was carried out to analyze the prevalence, mortality and current etiology of pediatrics burns in Ulaanbaatar during 10 years (2004-2013). The overall incidence rates of death were 26.3 per 100000 person-years. The male-to-female ration of incidence rate for children younger than 5 years was 1.1. There was also significantcorrelation between age groups and aetiology of burns.(P<0.0001). Analyses showed that younger children were more vulnerable to scald injury. The etiological subgroups of scalding were scalding with hot drinks/food and scalding with hot water meant for household. Flame was the most common etiology of burn for children up of 5 years and almost all other age groups.
