“…Nonetheless, the injury from such trauma to the maxillofacial area, including the upper airway tract, orodigestive tract, and the other vital organs, needs to be addressed properly. Most studies were comparing maxillofacial trauma scores with the other injury scoring systems to evaluate the length of stay, treatment costs, medical resources consumption, surgery costs and duration, number of plates needed, implant costs, sensory neural deficits, level of pain during follow-up, and post-operative complications [11], [12], [13], [14]. There are also several studies comparing the injury scores in relation to the economic burden of the patients [6].…”

INTRODUCTION: Maxillofacial fracture is the most common trauma that happened in the developing countries. One of the methods to evaluate the severity of maxillofacial fracture is by using the Facial Injury Severity Scale (FISS) score. Maxillofacial trauma causes multiple injuries, thus resulted in various periods of hospitalization. AIM: The aim of this study is to use the employment of the FISS score to predict a patient’s length of stay. METHODS: This research was a retrospective cohort and cross-sectional study on maxillofacial fracture patients whom treated in Sanglah General Hospital, Denpasar, Bali. As much as 89 subjects were included in this study and information about their age, gender, mechanism of injury, FISS score, treatments, and length of stay was collected. The data were statistically analyzed using bivariate, receiver operating characteristics (ROC), and linear regression analysis. RESULTS: A total of 89 subjects were included in this study. Among them, 50 subjects had a high FISS score, and 39 subjects had low FISS score. The average age was 28.9 ± 13.3 years with a mean length of stay 6.39 ± 4.29 days. Bivariate analysis showed that the patients with high FISS score have 5.3 times higher risk to get a longer length of stay compared to those with low FISS score (95% CI: 2.289–12.289; p = 0.001). The mean of length of stay in subjects with a high FISS score was significantly higher compared to subjects with a low FISS score (mean for subjects with high score: 8.46 ± 4.63; mean for subjects with low score: 3.74 ± 1.46; p = 0.001) with a correlation value r = 0.718 (p = 0.001). ROC analysis represented that FISS score ˂4 was categorized as mild. The linear regression analysis showed that the length of stay for maxillofacial fracture patients was able to be predicted by LOS = 1.476 + 1.032 × FISS score. CONCLUSION: The FISS score can predict the length of stay for patients with maxillofacial fracture.

Splitting right coronary artery is a benign entity but the atherosclerotic changes once occurred the patient presented with acute coronary disease and even death. It is a very rare coronary artery anomaly and discover incidentally during cardiac angiography or autopsy. Here the pathological and clinical scenarios of this anomaly should be taken in account : Arrhythmia , heamodynamic and cardiac surgery procedures. Aim of study: To know the incidence of splitting or double right coronary artery among people in Basra by conventional coronary angiography. Patients and Methods: Prospective study of coronary angiography carried out in Basra cardiac center at Al-Sadder teaching hospital. A sample of 150 patients attended to cardiac center with acute coronary disease. Results : In our study the incidence of double right coronary artery was 3.3% and the mean length of anterior right coronary artery was 81.43 ± 2.22 mm and the caliber of this artery was 2.96 ± 0.76 mm while the mean length of posterior right coronary artery was 105.33 ± 3.36 mm and its caliber was 3.03 ± 0.732 mm. Conclusion : Double right coronary artery is a benign coronary artery anomaly but it may be life threatened if it associated with other congenital heart anomalies , atherosclerosis, arrhythmias or myocardial infarction.
