The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the peculiarities of maxillofacial injuries caused by interpersonal violence with other etiologic factors.
Medical records of 3,724 patients with maxillofacial injuries in São Paulo state (Brazil) were retrospectively analyzed. The data were submitted to statistical analysis (simple descriptive statistics and Chi-squared test) using SPSS 18.0 software.
Data of 612 patients with facial injuries caused by violence were analyzed. The majority of the patients were male (81%; n = 496), with a mean age of 31.28 years (standard deviation of 13.33 years). These patients were more affected by mandibular and nose fractures, when compared with all other patients (P < 0.01), although fewer injuries were recorded in other body parts (χ(2) = 17.54; P < 0.01); Victims of interpersonal violence exhibited more injuries when the neurocranium was analyzed in isolation (χ(2) = 6.85; P < 0.01).
Facial trauma due to interpersonal violence seem to be related to a higher rate of facial fractures and lacerations when compared to all patients with facial injuries. Prominent areas of the face and neurocranium were more affected by injuries.
本回顾性研究旨在比较人际暴力导致的颌面损伤与其他病因所致颌面损伤的特点。
对巴西圣保罗州3724例颌面损伤患者的病历进行回顾性分析。使用SPSS 18.0软件对数据进行统计分析（简单描述性统计和卡方检验）。
分析了612例因暴力导致面部损伤患者的数据。大多数患者为男性（81%；n = 496），平均年龄31.28岁（标准差13.33岁）。与所有其他患者相比，这些患者下颌骨和鼻骨骨折更为常见（P < 0.01），尽管身体其他部位的损伤记录较少（χ(2)= 17.54；P < 0.01）；单独分析脑颅骨时，人际暴力受害者的损伤更多（χ(2)= 6.85；P < 0.01）。
与所有面部损伤患者相比，人际暴力导致的面部创伤似乎与更高的面部骨折和撕裂伤发生率相关。面部突出部位和脑颅骨受损伤的影响更大。
