“…Females are reluctant to report violence by husbands or partners. 26 Traffic injuries are less common in Europe than before, associated with the mandatory use of safety belts and helmets, compliance with speed limits, an increased frequency of safety checks, and rules for safe driving. We treated 252 cases (approximately 20% of all cases) of facial trauma caused by road accidents, thus a lower proportion than that of another study 11 (42.7%), reflecting the decrease in accidents over time in developed countries.…”

“…In countries of Europe and North America, the proportion between men and women tends to narrow, with older ages of presentation (between 30 and 40 years old) and the main etiologies are violence (2,4,15) or falls (4,8,9,16). This difference is attributed in part to the aging of the population experienced by higher income countries (15,16) and to the successful implementation of road legislation measures in response to the main cause identified to control its incidence (2,15,17). The context described has motivated the WHO to promote, since 1996, the increase in funding for research in the area of traumatology, pointing it out in its Priority Program on Disease Control in Developing Countries (DCPDC), as an “Optimal investment” considering it a public health problem due to its magnitude and severity (2,3).…”

BackgroundDetermine the behavior of the maxillofacial trauma of adults treated in 3 tertiary care centers in the central zone of Chile.Material and MethodsDescriptive, cross-sectional, multicenter study, based on the prospective records of maxillofacial trauma cases attended between May 2016 and April 2017 by dental and maxillofacial clinical teams of Adult Emergency Units of hospitals Dr. Sótero del Río (metropolitan region), Carlos Van Buren and Dr. Gustavo Fricke (region V). Age, sex, date of occurrence, type of trauma according to ICD-10, etiology, legal medical prognosis and associated injuries were recorded, stratifying by sex and age. Chi square and unpaired Wilcoxon tests were used to compare by groups.Results2.485 cases and 3.285 injuries were investigated. The male: female ratio was 1.7: 1 with age under 30 predominant, followed by older adults. Variability was observed in the yearly, weekly and daily presentation. The highest frequencies were in January and September, weekends and at night. The main etiologies were violence (42.3%), falls (13.1%) and road traffic crashes (12.9%) with differences by age and sex (p<0.05). 31,9% of the injuries occurred in hard tissue, being fractures in nasal bones predominant (S02.2).ConclusionsThe profile of the maxillofacial trauma in Chile seems to be mixed by age, affecting young people and the elderly. The male sex predominates; the main cause, which varies by age group, is violence. Their surveillance is possible from hospital emergency records. Key words:Maxillofacial trauma, emergency department, multicenter study.

“…Regarding the distribution of victims according to the day shift and weekday, the nocturnal period and the concentration of occurrences on Sunday corroborate other findings. 1,21,31 Research developed in Brazil has shown that violent crimes committed against men are associated with night time and weekends. 22 This can probably be explained by the fact that during this time, individuals often go to places in search of fun and leisure, with large concentrations of people and frequent exposure to alcohol and drugs.…”

Objectives: This cross-sectional study evaluated the prevalence of injuries in the maxillofacial complex of victims of violence attended by a Mobile Emergency Care Service in a municipality of Northeastern Brazil. Materials and Methods: A total of 2,347 records were evaluated from February 2014 to December 2016, of which 337(14.3%) corresponded to victims of violence. Information related to sociodemographic profile, associated factors and violence was collected. Data were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics, with significance level of 5%. Results: There was predominance of males (76.3%) and age group of 20-29 years (29.7%). Occurrences were more frequent at night (61.4%) and at the weekend (40.7%). Alcohol use was observed in 63.5% of victims and 16.0% reported illicit drug use, with predominance of crack (92.6%). The most prevalent type of aggression was physical violence (54.9%). The majority of victims presented a single lesion (72.7%) with predominance of laceration (80.4%). Cases of head and face injuries represented, respectively, 33.5% and 35.9% of aggressions. Face injuries showed association with gender (p=0.027) and number of injuries (p=0.042). Conclusions: The main victims of violence are young men who have used alcohol and illicit drugs. Physical aggression is the most frequent type of violence, with high occurrence of head and face injuries. Face injuries showed association with gender and number of lesions, both being more frequent among women.
