BACKGROUND/AIMS: In December 2019, a novel coronavirus emerged in Wuhan City, and a retrospective analysis is necessary to provide clinicians with the characteristics of traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) during the epidemic. The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in the characteristics of TDIs under the transmission control measures in Wuhan City utilizing an epidemiologic investigation.
In this retrospective study, epidemiologic information, including the number of patients, gender, age, and TDI parameters such as time since injury to the clinic visit, etiology, tooth location, and the type of injury was extracted from the records of patients in the hospital from two periods: period 1 (between January 23, 2020, and April 7, 2020) and period 2 (between January 23, 2019, and April 7, 2019). The data from the two periods were compared and analyzed.
A total of 158 patients were treated for TDIs (120 in 2019 and 38 in 2020). Males were more likely to suffer from TDIs than females with a ratio of 1.5:1, both in 2020 and 2019. Other than that, there were characteristic changes in TDIs during the transmission control measures in the COVID-19 epidemic, which included the number of patients, age, time since injury to the clinic visit, etiology, tooth location and the type of TDI.
The transmission control measures during the COVID-19 epidemic had a significant impact on the epidemiology and etiology of TDIs in Wuhan City.
背景/目的:2019 年 12 月,一种新型冠状病毒在武汉市出现,有必要进行回顾性分析,为临床医生提供疫情期间创伤性牙外伤(TDI)的特征。本研究旨在通过流行病学调查评估武汉市在传播控制措施下 TDI 特征的变化。
在这项回顾性研究中,从医院记录中提取了流行病学信息,包括患者人数、性别、年龄以及 TDI 参数,如受伤至就诊的时间、病因、牙齿位置和损伤类型,这些信息来自两个时期:时期 1(2020 年 1 月 23 日至 4 月 7 日)和时期 2(2019 年 1 月 23 日至 4 月 7 日)。比较和分析了这两个时期的数据。
共有 158 例 TDI 患者接受治疗(2019 年 120 例,2020 年 38 例)。男性比女性更容易发生 TDI,比例为 1.5:1,2020 年和 2019 年均如此。除此之外,在 COVID-19 疫情的传播控制措施期间,TDI 还存在特征性变化,包括患者人数、年龄、受伤至就诊的时间、病因、牙齿位置和 TDI 类型。
COVID-19 疫情期间的传播控制措施对武汉市 TDI 的流行病学和病因学有重大影响。
