“…Concurrently, a robust body of NEISSbased literature discusses injury incidence within specific sports settings, such as volleyball, rugby, and soccer. 6,[18][19][20][21][22] However, this study's result demonstrates a critical burden of at-home injuries across all age groups, with a higher incidence with increased age. For example, even among the 10 to 20-year group, 24.4% of injuries occurred at home, closely matching the incidence of sports-related trauma (25.1%).…”

“…A relative paucity of literature focuses on the incidence of at-home injuries for adolescents and young adults, particularly, as there is a high prevalence of injury during recreational activities within this age group. Concurrently, a robust body of NEISS-based literature discusses injury incidence within specific sports settings, such as volleyball, rugby, and soccer 6,18–22 . However, this study’s result demonstrates a critical burden of at-home injuries across all age groups, with a higher incidence with increased age.…”

“…Given the high incidence and economic burden of facial trauma, it is of utmost importance to characterize its epidemiology to direct preventative safety measures. Previous studies have shown that assault and motor vehicle accidents are the top causes of facial fractures 5,6 . However, these studies are limited as they do not assess the incidence of facial trauma beyond fractures.…”

“…However, these studies are limited as they do not assess the incidence of facial trauma beyond fractures. Studies focusing on facial trauma explore incidences within particular sports or activities, are single institution-based studies, or investigate a cohort outside of the United States 6–8 . Therefore, this study aims to provide a comprehensive broad epidemiologic overview of facial trauma in the United States, characterizing the nature of facial injury and the mechanism of occurrence across age categories.…”

Background: Facial trauma comprises a significant portion of injuries that occur each year in the United States, with injuries ranging from lacerations to complex facial fractures. This study aims to provide a broad epidemiologic overview of facial trauma in the United States to direct preventative safety measures. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted utilizing the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System database to identify the weighted national incidence of facial injuries from 2017 to 2021. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was used to compare the demographics of patients, the settings where the injury occurred, and the products resulting in the injury. Results: A total of 8,465,538 out of 64,312,132 weighted encounters involved facial injuries. Less than 10 years was the highest-represented age group (36.8%). The most frequent disposition was treated and released (91.1%), with increasing age associated with higher rates of hospitalization (odds ratio: 1.04, P < 0.001). Cases predominantly occurred at home (49.0%), and the most common type of injury was laceration (36.5%). At-home injuries increased with age, comprising 39.2% of facial injuries for 21 to 40 years, 52.0% for 41 to 64 years, and 58.0% for older than 65 years. Building structures (21.4%) were the most prevalent source of injury, composed predominantly of floors (58.3%) and ceilings and walls (10.4%). Conclusions: There is an understated burden of at-home facial injuries across all age groups, beyond the pediatric and geriatric population. Fall prevention and home environmental hazards education could benefit all ages, reducing the incidence of facial trauma.
