Abstract

Background

During the COVID-19 lockdown, more domestic violence-related traumas were reported. In this study, we investigated and compared the incidence of domestic violence-related injuries—in particular oral and maxillofacial injuries—in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, before and during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Materials and Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional study based on 3974 domestic violence cases registered at the Public Health Department, National Traumatology and Orthopedics Research Center of Mongolia between 2018 and 2022. Descriptive and binary logistic regression analyses were conducted. The victims were categorized according to their age (child, adult, and elderly).

Results

The mean age of the victims was children 9.7 ± 5.4 years, adults 34.8 ± 8.3 years, and elderly 64.3 ± 8.7 years. Binary logistic regression analysis (no/yes) showed that oral and maxillofacial injuries during the lockdown increased 1.3 times (OR = 1.3; CI 95% = 1.0–1.6; p = .003) in adults and 2.5 times in children (OR = 2.5; CI 95% = 1.7–3.9; p = .001). Additionally, injuries to upper limbs increased 4.6 times (OR = 4.6; CI 95% = 3.5–6.1; p = .001) in adults and 5.2 times in elderly patients (OR = 5.2; CI 95% = 1.8–16.2; p = .01). Additionally, thorax injury in children increased 3.1 times (OR = 3.1; CI 95% = 1.7–5.7; p = .001).

Conclusions

During the lockdown, injury to oral and maxillofacial regions increased in adult and child victims of domestic violence.

COVID-19 封锁对家庭暴力相关口腔和颌面部伤害影响的横断面研究。

背景：在COVID-19封锁期间，报告了更多与家庭暴力相关的创伤。在这项研究中，我们调查并比较了 COVID-19 封锁前和封锁期间蒙古乌兰巴托与家庭暴力相关的伤害（尤其是口腔和颌面部伤害）的发生率：我们对2018年至2022年期间在蒙古国家创伤和骨科研究中心公共卫生部登记的3974例家庭暴力病例进行了横断面研究。研究进行了描述性分析和二元逻辑回归分析。受害者根据年龄（儿童、成人和老人）进行分类：结果：受害者的平均年龄为儿童（9.7 ± 5.4）岁、成人（34.8 ± 8.3）岁和老年人（64.3 ± 8.7）岁。二元逻辑回归分析（否/是）显示，封锁期间口腔和颌面部受伤的人数在成人中增加了 1.3 倍（OR = 1.3；CI 95% = 1.0-1.6；p = .003），在儿童中增加了 2.5 倍（OR = 2.5；CI 95% = 1.7-3.9；p = .001）。此外，上肢受伤在成人中增加了 4.6 倍（OR = 4.6；CI 95% = 3.5-6.1；p = .001），在老年患者中增加了 5.2 倍（OR = 5.2；CI 95% = 1.8-16.2；p = .01）。此外，儿童胸腔损伤增加了 3.1 倍（OR = 3.1；CI 95% = 1.7-5.7；p = .001）：结论：在封锁期间，成人和儿童家庭暴力受害者的口腔和颌面部受伤情况有所增加。
