The Comprehensive Facial Injury Score (CFI) better predicts maxillofacial injury severity than the Facial Injury Severity Score (FISS). CFI showed stronger correlations with hospital stay, surgery needs, surgical time, and interdisciplinary care, indicating its potential utility.

Area of Science:

  • Maxillofacial trauma research
  • Clinical scoring systems evaluation
  • Trauma severity assessment

Background:

  • The Comprehensive Facial Injury Score (CFI) and Facial Injury Severity Score (FISS) are established tools for evaluating maxillofacial injury severity.
  • Limited direct comparative data exists on the association of these scores with key clinical outcomes.
  • Understanding the comparative efficacy of CFI and FISS is crucial for accurate patient stratification and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the Comprehensive Facial Injury Score (CFI) and Facial Injury Severity Score (FISS) in assessing maxillofacial injury severity.
  • To evaluate the association of CFI and FISS with clinical indicators: length of hospital stay (LOS), need for surgical intervention (NSI), overall surgical time (OST), and need for interdisciplinary management (IDM).

Published on: September 21, 2017

  • Retrospective analysis of 280 patient medical records with maxillofacial injuries (January 2016 - December 2021).
  • Utilized Pearson and point-biserial correlation analyses to assess the relationship between CFI/FISS scores and the four outcome variables.
  • Statistical significance was determined using p-values, with p < 0.001 indicating strong correlations.

Main Results:

  • CFI demonstrated stronger positive correlations than FISS across all measured clinical severity indicators.
  • CFI showed significant associations with LOS (r=0.65), OST (r=0.74), NSI (rpβ=0.612), and IDM (rpβ=0.384).
  • FISS exhibited moderate to weak correlations with LOS (r=0.41), OST (r=0.54), NSI (rpβ=0.373), and IDM (rpβ=0.150).

Conclusions:

  • The Comprehensive Facial Injury Score (CFI) shows a stronger association with key clinical severity indicators compared to the Facial Injury Severity Score (FISS).
  • CFI's robust correlations suggest its superior utility in stratifying the severity of maxillofacial injuries within this patient cohort.
  • These findings support the potential clinical value of CFI for guiding treatment decisions and resource allocation in maxillofacial trauma.
