Methods A search was conducted in CINAHL, Ovid MEDLINE, PSYCinfo, and SocINDEX. for “burn OR scars OR scald OR deformity OR disfigurement” and “Aboriginal OR Indigenous OR First Nation OR American Indian OR Maori OR Native OR Torres Strait Islander OR Amerindian OR Inuit OR Metis OR Pacific Islander”.

Exclusion 1) no data specific to Indigenous burns 2) not peer-reviewed 3) not in full text 4) protocol publications. Selection was performed by a member of the research team and reviewed by the co-authors. Results The search identified 1,091 studies with 51 for review. Fifteen were excluded. Three were editorials or letters. Five were not full text. One was a protocol only, and one did not reference Indigenous persons. Two reported accident rates in Indigenous populations but not burns data. Two excluded articles did not report burns data in the Indigenous population. One was excluded as the conclusions were not supported by the data. Included publications were published between 1987 and 2021 with 24 between 2011 - 2021. Indigenous populations have a rate of burn injury up to two times of the general population in the US, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. Indigenous people suffered more injuries from flame and inhalation. Burns in Indigenous people are of greater total body surface area and deeper. Indigenous persons had longer lengths of stay, more complications, and need for additional surgeries. The Indigenous population in the US is associated with more hypertrophic scarring. ...
