Abstract

Background: Road traffic accidents have significantly impacted public health in Vietnam. This study investigated the patterns of midface fractures in Vietnam and their correlation with road traffic accidents in the country.

Methodology: This retrospective cross-sectional study reviewed 2187 medical records of patients with midface fractures in Ho Chi Minh City. After applying exclusion criteria, the fractures were categorized. Statistical analyses, including chi-squared and logistic regression, were conducted to identify associations and relationships among the types and causes of fractures.

Results: The study found that 89.3% of midface fractures stemmed from road traffic accidents, with 55.2% and 14.4% zygomatic complex fractures and Le Fort type II fractures, respectively. Adults aged 19-39 accounted for 65.1% of patients, with males at 80.5%. Traffic accidents were significantly associated with an 18.7 times higher risk of concomitant mandibular fractures and a 10.5 times higher risk of Le Fort type II fractures, irrespective of age and gender.

Conclusion: This study underscores the need for targeted prevention strategies to decrease the incidence of maxillofacial injuries resulting from road traffic accidents in Vietnam, particularly among high-risk groups such as males and young adults.

分析越南道路交通事故造成的中面部骨折负担：流行病学方法

背景：道路交通事故严重影响了越南的公众健康。本研究调查了越南中面部骨折的模式及其与该国道路交通事故的相关性：这项回顾性横断面研究回顾了胡志明市 2187 名面中部骨折患者的医疗记录。在应用排除标准后，对骨折进行了分类。通过卡方和逻辑回归等统计分析，确定骨折类型和原因之间的关联和关系：研究发现，89.3%的中面部骨折源于道路交通事故，其中颧骨复合体骨折和 Le Fort II 型骨折分别占 55.2%和 14.4%。19-39岁的成年人占患者总数的65.1%，其中男性占80.5%。无论年龄和性别如何，交通事故与并发下颌骨骨折的风险高出18.7倍和Le Fort II型骨折的风险高出10.5倍明显相关：本研究强调，有必要制定有针对性的预防策略，以降低越南道路交通事故导致的颌面部损伤的发生率，尤其是男性和年轻人等高危人群。
