In December 2019, a novel coronavirus (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) emerged in Wuhan City. The present study aimed to assess the demographic variables, causes, and patterns of maxillofacial injuries managed at a teaching hospital in Wuhan City during the transmission control measures in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic. In this retrospective study, all patients treated for maxillofacial injuries in the hospital between January 23 and April 7 (2019 and 2020) were involved. Epidemiologic information, including the number of patients, gender, age, etiology, time since injury to the clinic visit, and type of maxillofacial injuries, was recorded. Data of the 2 periods (2019 and 2020) were compared and analyzed. A total of 337 patients had maxillofacial injuries at the 2-time intervals: 74 in 2020 and 263 in 2019. The characteristics of maxillofacial injuries had changes during the transmission control measures in the COVID-19 epidemic, which included the number of patients, gender, age, etiology, time since injury to the clinic visit, and type of maxillofacial injuries. The transmission control measures during the COVID-19 epidemic had a significant impact on the epidemiology of maxillofacial injuries in Wuhan City.
2019 年 12 月,一种新型冠状病毒(严重急性呼吸系统综合症冠状病毒 2 型)在武汉市出现。本研究旨在评估在冠状病毒病 2019(COVID-19)流行期间,武汉市一家教学医院在实施传播控制措施期间管理的颌面损伤的人口统计学变量、原因和模式。在这项回顾性研究中,纳入了 2019 年 1 月 23 日至 4 月 7 日期间(2019 年和 2020 年)在医院治疗颌面损伤的所有患者。记录了流行病学信息,包括患者人数、性别、年龄、病因、受伤至就诊的时间以及颌面损伤类型。对两个时期(2019 年和 2020 年)的数据进行了比较和分析。在这两个时间间隔内共有 337 名患者有颌面损伤:2020 年 74 名,2019 年 263 名。在 COVID-19 流行期间实施传播控制措施后,颌面损伤的特征发生了变化,包括患者人数、性别、年龄、病因、受伤至就诊的时间以及颌面损伤类型。COVID-19 流行期间的传播控制措施对武汉市颌面损伤的流行病学有重大影响。
