Abstract
Purpose
This study aimed to observe the correlations between factors that influence motorcycle accidents (such as accident time and helmet use) and the Facial Injury Severity Scale (FISS) and Maxillofacial Injury Severity Score (MFISS) scores in patients with maxillofacial trauma.
Methods
Data from maxillofacial trauma patients at the Tangerang Regency General Hospital in Banten, Indonesia, were retrospectively reviewed from June 2017 and May 2022 using the FISS and MFISS scores.
Results
A total of 257 patients were included in the study. Significant differences (p < 0.05) in FISS and MFISS based on accident time and helmet use were observed. Multivariate analysis revealed significant correlations (p < 0.05) between the factors and the maxillofacial trauma severity based on the FISS and MFISS.
Conclusion
The severity of maxillofacial trauma based on the MFISS was influenced by the accident time and helmet use. Similarly, the severity of maxillofacial trauma based on the FISS was directly related to the accident time; however, it was inversely related to the use of a helmet.
