Abstract

Background: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the changes in maxillofacial fracture epidemiology and etiology regarding Covid-19-related social distancing restrictions in an Iranian population.

Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was undertaken in six major trauma center hospitals in Iran in a period of two years (March 2018 until March 2020). The primary outcome variable was the maxillofacial fractures incidence. Patients' demographic data, date of injury as well as fracture characteristics, fracture etiology, type, and site were all recorded, compared, and analyzed in the control and experimental groups.

Results: The patients consisted of 520 (83.6%) males and 102 (16.4%) females. Patients sustaining maxillofacial fractures over this two-year period displayed a mean age of 31.24±14.44, with an age range of 2 to 88 years. The incidence of maxillofacial fractures significantly decreased in all age groups (p<0.001). After social distancing restrictions were placed; there was a significant drop in the number of subjects attending due to motorcycle collisions and road traffic accidents, whereas the number of fractures caused by assaults and domestic violence significantly increased (p<0.001 for each).

Conclusion: The investigators realized that social distancing restrictions were able to change the trends and patterns in maxillofacial fracture incidence and etiology.

与 Covid-19 有关的社会距离限制对颌面部骨折流行病学的影响。
研究背景本研究的目的是评估在伊朗人群中,与 Covid-19 相关的社会距离限制有关的颌面部骨折流行病学和病因学的变化:在两年内(2018 年 3 月至 2020 年 3 月),在伊朗六家主要创伤中心医院开展了一项回顾性横断面研究。主要结果变量为颌面部骨折发生率。对照组和实验组患者的人口统计学数据、受伤日期以及骨折特征、骨折病因、类型和部位均被记录、比较和分析:患者中有 520 名男性(83.6%)和 102 名女性(16.4%)。两年内颌面部骨折患者的平均年龄为(31.24±14.44)岁,年龄范围为 2 至 88 岁。所有年龄组的颌面部骨折发生率都明显下降(p结论:研究人员意识到,社会距离限制能够改变颌面部骨折发病率和病因的趋势和模式。
