    Summary

    Older patients experience distinct causes and outcomes from facial trauma, facing higher mortality risks. This study highlights critical age-related differences in injury patterns and management needs for facial trauma patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Traumatology
    • Geriatric Medicine
    • Emergency Medicine

    Background:

    • Facial trauma presents a significant public health concern, with varying etiologies and outcomes across different demographic groups.
    • Understanding age-specific patterns of facial injuries is crucial for effective clinical management and resource allocation.
    • Previous research has often aggregated data, potentially masking age-related nuances in facial trauma.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate age-related differences in the causes, characteristics, and outcomes of facial trauma.
    • To identify specific injury patterns and risk factors associated with facial trauma in older adult populations.
    • To inform age-tailored management strategies for patients with facial injuries.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 615 facial trauma cases over a 5-year period at a major trauma hospital.

  • Categorization of patients by age groups to compare causes, injury severity, and treatment modalities.
  • Statistical comparison of demographic, injury, and outcome data across different age cohorts.

    • Main Results:

    • The majority of facial trauma cases occurred in patients aged 20-29 years; individuals over 60 comprised only 6.8% of the total.
    • Older patients (over 70) were more frequently involved in pedestrian accidents and less likely to be victims of assault compared to younger groups.
    • Older patients presented with more multiple injuries but underwent fewer treatment procedures, and exhibited significantly higher mortality rates.

    Conclusions:

    • Facial trauma in older adults is associated with distinct etiological factors, predominantly pedestrian accidents.
    • Older patients with facial trauma experience a higher burden of multiple injuries and a greater risk of death.
    • Age-specific considerations are essential for optimizing the management and improving outcomes for facial trauma patients, particularly the elderly.
