“…In a study published by Farneze et al ( 22 ) in 2016 that described maxilomandibular trauma of patients at a reference center in oral and maxillofacial service, the mean age was 33.7 years old, with men accounting for 81% of the cases. The main etiology was injuries related to traffic accidents (47%), especially motorcycle accidents.…”

BackgroundTo investigate the occupational profile, educational level, marital status and deleterious habits to the health of patients with maxillofacial fractures of a population of northeastern Brazil.Material and MethodsA retrospective study of patients records admitted to the Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Walter Cantídio University Hospital (Fortaleza, Brazil) who sustained maxillofacial fractures was conducted in the period between 2006 and 2015.ResultsA total of 338 patients rendered 355 fractures. Males were the most affected (p<0.001), with prevalence in the third decade of life (p<0.001). There was a predominance of motorcycle accidents (p<0.001), home workers (p<0.001), low educational status (p = 0.032), and no cigarette use (p<0.001) or alcohol (p = 0.023). Fractures of the zygomatic-orbital complex were the most prevalent in the sample (p<0.001).ConclusionsThe sociodemographic profile exerted a significant influence on the epidemiological profile of maxillofacial fractures in a Brazilian population during the study period. Key words:Epidemiological studies, trauma, facial bones.

“…Another study reported that 81% of maxillofacial traumas were observed among men. 20 Based on the results of other studies, men were more prone to traumatic injuries probably due to dealing more with physical activities and disputes. 5,13,21 Regarding the reason for traumas, approximately twothird of cases were allotted to driving accidents with vehicles, and falling from a height, disputes and injuries with a warm gun, along with sports and occupational accidents, were the other causes of maxillofacial traumas in this study.…”

“…In this respect, a number of similar studies reported the same age distribution for maxillofacial traumas. [19][20][21]23 However, in a study done in the United Arab Emirates, the second decade of life was reported as the most prevalent age group of maxillofacial traumas, which is attributed to further use of motorcycles by young people. 24 In the present study, nearly one-third of cases had mandibular fractures in their history.…”

“…Maxillofacial trauma (MFT) is particularly important because it is responsible for a large fraction of emergency visits and the morbidity and mortality in trauma centers, which is reflected in a lack of hospital and polyclinic beds, in addition to the costs associated with the treatment, recovery and rehabilitation of these patients ( 1 - 4 ).…”

“…Studies have shown that traffic accidents and falls are the most prevalent etiologies of MFT ( 5 - 9 ). These etiologies represent real challenges both for the management of public policies targeting the care of this population through the implementation of primary care programs focused on the prevention of the main etiological factors and the factors associated with MFT and for the care professionals involved in the treatment of increasingly severe injuries ( 1 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 9 - 11 ).…”

Background This study aimed to determine the pattern of Maxillofacial trauma (MFT) due to traffic accidents and falls in a reference hospital in a rural region of northeastern Brazil between December 2011 and December 2018 and to identify associated factors. Material and Methods This was a cross-sectional study using 585 medical records of patients with MFT. The data were subjected to a Poisson-Tweedie multiple regression analysis to estimate the Prevalence ratio (PR), with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI) and a significance level of p <0.05. Results MFT due to traffic accidents was more prevalent among patients 21 to 40 years old (PR=2.30; 95% CI=1.20-4.41; p <0.001) diagnosed with zygomatic-orbital complex fractures (PR=1.80; 95% CI=1.08-2.98; p =0.023). Falls were more frequent among older groups of 41 to 60 years (PR=1.83; 95% CI=1.09-3.06; p =0.022) and over 61 years (PR=2.23; 95% CI=1.09-3.06; p =0.022). In traffic accidents, alcohol consumption increased the length of stay (PR=2.081; 95% CI=1.553-2.787; p <0.001), and patients who did not use personal protective equipment (PPE) had higher hospital costs (PR=179.964; 95% CI=1.485-1.994; p <0.001) for this etiology. Traffic accidents and falls are two of the main etiologies of MFT, especially for males in the young adult age group (traffic accidents) and those above 41 years (falls). Alcohol consumption and the nonuse of PPE influenced the length of the hospital stay and hospital costs. Conclusions Strategies to confront this problem, such as road and highway improvements, effective enforcement of laws and intersectoral coordination involving the entire community to implement policies and prevention programs targeted at these populations, can be implemented. Key words: Maxillofacial Injuries, public policy, hospital cost.

Study of the causes of facial fractures in a reference center in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from 2003–2012

Abstract: In the city of Rio de Janeiro, young men in their fourth decade of life are prone to trauma to their facial bones, especially the mandible, and they are most commonly caused by traffic accidents.
