Introduction & Purpose

This pitch presents a Shiny App to explore pediatric burn hospitalization trends in Inner Mongolia, China.

Burns are a major public health issue in children.
This tool allows users to filter by year and gender, and visualize: - Hospitalization & death rates
- Burn severity distribution
- Age structure (focus on under 14)
