Zygoma Fractures Are Associated With Increased Morbidity and Mortality in the Pediatric Population

摘要: Background Trauma involving the facial bones has been shown to be associated with high severity in previous studies. Characteristics of fractures adults have well described adult population, less so pediatric literature. Our investigation aims define these epidemiological measures and risk factors for poor outcomes using most recent data. Methods The 2016 Quality Improvement Program data bank was examined study fracture pattern, mechanism injury, demographic descriptive characterize trauma patients. Multivariable regression analysis performed assess morbidity mortality Results Of 51,168 total patients, 2917 (5.7%) presented fractures. Motor vehicle common injury. Maxillary/malar type overall. Mandibular were 0 1 age category while nasal bone more older Patients mandible experienced highest rate operative management. Zygoma highly concomitant traumatic brain showed that zygoma, cervical spine injury increased mortality. Conclusion Facial are a rare but significant form population. suggests slight change patterns compared fractures, clinicians should aware of.
