“…Again our result is explained by the high frequency of high-speed impacts, and by the fact that the cranium most often was the primary target of the impact. Also in adults skull vault and frontal skull base fractures are associated with intracranial injuries significantly more frequently than to facial fractures (Hohlrieder et al, 2004;Kloss et al, 2008). Brain injury caused severe deterioration in GCS score in our patients (40.8%).…”

“…No statistically significant difference in "duration of hospital" stay was found between the two categories. The need for hospitalization suggests a more severe traffic accident, which could have negative consequences for these workers, as trauma can result in deformity in the physiognomy of the face as well as emotional scars 30 . One limitation of this study was possible recall bias of victims, a bias that is not present in studies that use medical records.…”

Objective Methods Interviews were held with the aid of a questionnaire administered to a probabilistic sample of 210 individuals (125 from city hall and 85 from the private firm). Results A high number of motorcyclists in both categories combined (78.6%) suffered traffic accidents in the 12 months prior to the inquiry. Collisions with automobiles constituted the most frequent type of accident (43.6%). Accidents were more associated with motorcyclists working for city hall (p < 0.05), due mainly to the fact that these individuals had been employed for a longer period of time (p < 0.001). The occurrence of bodily injuries was high in both categories (63.6%). Facial injuries were the least frequent in both categories due mainly to the use of protection equipment (98.2%). ConclusionThe occurrence of traffic accidents was high in the two motorcycle passenger transportation categories analyzed, demonstrating that motorcycles are used to transport passengers in a risky manner.

Aims and Objectives: The aim of the present study was to investigate the psychological consequences among hospitalized patients facing Maxillofacial trauma.Materials and Methods: Ninety-two patients (78 male and 14 female) following maxillofacial trauma were assessed initially and later again after 4-6 months of the injury. For assessment the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS) was used. Prevalence of Depression, Anxiety and Stress was assessed initially and later at follow-up in terms of percentage. Paired t-test was then used to assess if there is any significant difference in the pre and post assessment of Depression, Anxiety and Stress after maxillofacial trauma.Results: Of 92 patients, 41.3% had normal depression and 13%, 26%, 16.3% and 3.2% had mild, moderate, severe and extremely severe depression respectively in the initial assessment. Whereas in the follow up assessment, 37.8% were normal, 19.5 %, 31.7%, 10.9 % had mild, moderate, severe depression respectively and none had extremely severe depression. Similarly, of 92 patients 39.1 % of the subjects had normal anxiety, 6.5 %, 25 %, 15.2 % and 14.1 % had mild, moderate, severe anxiety and extremely severe anxiety respectively at the initial assessment. Whereas in the follow up assessment 45.1 % were normal, 12.1%, 28 %, 12.1% and 2.4 % had mild, moderate anxiety, severe and extremely severe anxiety respectively. Furthermore, of 92 patients, 79.3% of the subjects had normal stress, 8.7%, 10.8% and 1% had mild, moderate and severe stress respectively and no subjects had extremely severe stress at the initial assessment. During follow up assessment all patients were normal without any kind of stress. Paired t-test revealed that there was significant levels of anxiety in patients following maxillofacial trauma but no significant levels of Depression or Stress was found.Conclusion: Psychological morbidity commonly follows maxillofacial injury and it needs to be addressed in routine clinical practice.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.7(2) 2015 85-89
