Abstract
Aim
This study focuses on wound complications after debridement and suture of maxillofacial injuries, aiming to accurately identify the risk factors and construct an effective prediction model.
Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted in the emergency department of a tertiary dental hospital in southwest China from January to May 2024. Clinical data were obtained from patients who underwent debridement and suturing procedures for maxillofacial injuries under local anesthesia. Lasso regression was employed to identify risk factors, and binary logistic regression was utilized to construct the prediction model. The performance of the model was assessed based on accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the area under the curve (AUC).
Results
The incidence of postoperative wound complications was 25 % (196/783). Following Lasso regression analysis, 14 risk factors were identified. Subsequent binary logistic regression analysis, which included variables selected by the Lasso regression, revealed that wound complications were influenced by interval time between injury and visit (hours), endocrine disorder, accompanying caregiver, penetrating injury, tissue defect, duration of surgery (hours), anesthesia, and intraoperative cooperation of patients (p < 0.05). The calibration curve of the predictive model demonstrated high consistency between predicted and actual probabilities, with an AUC of 0.73.(95 % CI: 0.682–0.763).
Conclusions
This study developed a predictive model for postoperative complications in maxillofacial trauma by incorporating key risk factors including injury-to-visit interval, endocrine disorder, penetrating injury status, and tissue defects. The model enables precise perioperative risk stratification and personalized clinical decision-making, providing essential evidence-based guidance for trauma management.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Tissue Viability is the official publication of the Tissue Viability Society and is a quarterly journal concerned with all aspects of the occurrence and treatment of wounds, ulcers and pressure sores including patient care, pain, nutrition, wound healing, research, prevention, mobility, social problems and management.
The Journal particularly encourages papers covering skin and skin wounds but will consider articles that discuss injury in any tissue. Articles that stress the multi-professional nature of tissue viability are especially welcome. We seek to encourage new authors as well as well-established contributors to the field - one aim of the journal is to enable all participants in tissue viability to share information with colleagues.
