The onset of the SARS-Cov-2 pandemic brought with it important changes in the hospital care for all diseases. According to the international literature, since the beginning of the pandemic there has been an impact in the incidence, etiology, and severity of head trauma, all these changes as a direct consequence of lockdown.
In this article we analyzed the characteristics of craniofacial trauma in patients admitted to a private hospital in Mexico City during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
Medical records from patients admitted in Medica Sur between March 2020 and June 2021. In this study, incidence, etiology, severity of the injuries and the SARS-CoV-2 PCR result performed upon admission were analyzed.
Although there is no study in Mexico like ours, the results were similar to those reported by other hospital centers worldwide, presenting a greater number of cases classified as mild craniofacial trauma, in addition to finding that the main age group affected were older adults.
The reported information in our study provides a general view of craniofacial trauma characteristics during SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
SARS-CoV-2 大流行的爆发给所有疾病的医院治疗带来了重要变化。根据国际文献,自大流行开始以来,头部创伤的发病率、病因和严重程度都受到了影响,所有这些变化都是封锁的直接后果。
本文分析了 SARS-CoV-2 大流行期间墨西哥城一家私立医院收治的颅面创伤患者的特征。
对 2020 年 3 月至 2021 年 6 月期间在 Medica Sur 住院的患者的病历进行了分析。本研究分析了发病率、病因、损伤严重程度以及入院时进行的 SARS-CoV-2 PCR 结果。
尽管墨西哥没有像我们这样的研究,但结果与世界其他医院中心报告的结果相似,表现出更多的轻度颅面创伤病例,此外还发现受影响的主要年龄组是老年人。
本研究报告的信息提供了 SARS-CoV-2 大流行期间颅面创伤特征的总体情况。
