“…Prior studies conducted in Saudi Arabia also reported similar results attributing motor vehicle accidents as the leading cause of maxillofacial fractures ( Alghamdi et al, 2017 , Ali-Alsuliman et al, 2018 ). The results in our region correspond to international data in Malaysia ( Abosadegh et al, 2017 , Chelvan et al, 2020 ) and South India ( Patil et al, 2018 ). On the contrary, a multicentric European study has found that the primary cause of faciomaxillary fractures is assaults, followed by falls, sports accidents, and road traffic accidents ( Boffano et al, 2015a ).…”

“…An analysis of RTAs in SA found that road traffic injuries accounted for 83.4% of all trauma admissions, with the head and neck being the most injured body regions ( Mansuri et al, 2015 ). Injuries to the maxillofacial region are common among RTAs, ranging from minor fractures to severe or gross injuries ( Jose et al, 2016 , Patil et al, 2018 , Singaram et al, 2016 ). Multiple factors affect the incidence and characteristics of maxillofacial fractures, such as sociodemographic, economic, and cultural aspects of the population studied ( Mabrouk et al, 2014 , Singaram et al, 2016 ) Prior studies conducted in Saudi Arabia reported motor vehicle accidents as the leading cause of maxillofacial fractures ( Al-Bokhamseen et al, 2019 , Ali-Alsuliman et al, 2018 , Almasri et al, 2015 , Samman et al, 2018 ).…”

“…Injury to the maxillofacial region often leads to other systemic injuries resulting in long-term effects, both functionally and aesthetically ( Nayak et al, 2021 ). Several types of concomitant serious injuries were reviewed in the literature, and traumatic brain injuries were the most prevalent associated with traumatic facial injuries ( Patil et al, 2018 , Scherbaum Eidt et al, 2013 ). A comprehensive understanding of the trends and severity of maxillofacial injuries is vital for the establishment of effective treatments and prevention measures.…”

Background: Facial injuries affect one third of severely injured patients. These injuries have devastating long-term negative impact on quality of life. We aimed to study the epidemiology of facial injuries and factors affecting mortality of hospitalized facial trauma patients in Al-Ain City, United Arab Emirates Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected data from Al-Ain Hospital Trauma Registry. All patients with facial injury who were hospitalized for more than 24 hours or who died after arrival at the hospital during the period from January 2014 to December 2017 were studied. Univariate analysis was used to compare patients who died and those who survived. Significant factors were then entered into a backward logistic regression model to define factors affecting mortality. Results: 408 patients having a mean age of 31.9 years were studied, 87.3% were males. The main mechanisms of injury were road traffic collisions (45.1%) and fall from height (11.3%). 289 (70.8%) patients had associated injuries which were mainly in the head and chest. The backward logistic regression model showed that GCS was the only factor that predicted mortality, p<0.0001 with the best cut-off point of 7.5 having a sensitivity of 0.972 and a specificity of 0.8. The ROC had an area under the curve of 0.924.Conclusions: Majority of facial injury patients in our setting are young males who were involved in road traffic collsions or falls from height. The most important factor prediciting mortality of these patients was the low GCS. Those having GCS of 8 and more had a better chance for survival. This information is very important when counselling patients or their relatives for facial surgery.

Background Facial injuries affect one-third of severely injured patients. These injuries have devastating long-term negative impacts on quality of life. We aimed to study the epidemiology of facial injuries and factors affecting the mortality of hospitalized facial trauma patients in Al-Ain City, United Arab Emirates. Methodology This is a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from Al-Ain Hospital Trauma Registry. All patients with facial injury who were hospitalized for more than 24 hours or who died after arrival at the hospital during the period from January 2014 to December 2017 were studied. Two sample data analysis was used to compare patients who died and those who survived. Significant factors were then entered into a backward logistic regression model to define factors affecting mortality. Results 408 patients having a mean age of 31.9 years were studied, 87.3% were males. The main mechanisms of injury were road traffic collisions (52.2%) and fall from height (11.3%). 289 (70.8%) patients had associated injuries which were mainly in the head and chest. The backward logistic regression model showed that the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) was the only factor that predicted mortality, p<0.0001 with the best cut-off point of 7.5, having a sensitivity of 0.972 and a specificity of 0.8. The ROC had an area under the curve of 0.924. Conclusion The majority of facial injury patients in our setting are young males who were involved in road traffic collisions or falls from height. The most important factor predicting the mortality of these patients was the low GCS. Those having a GCS of 8 and more had a better chance of survival.
