ABSTRACT
Background: The purpose of the present study was to analyze the etiology, incidence, pattern, and treatment modalities of patients with maxillofacial fractures treated at the Department of Dentistry of a medical college in Pondicherry during the period between June 2011 and June 2019. Materials and Methods: A retrospective epidemiological study of 277 patients treated for maxillofacial fractures between June 2011 and June 2019 was performed. Data regarding age, gender, etiology, site of the fracture, time of injury, presence of associated injuries, treatment modalities, and complications were recorded. Results: A total of 491 maxillofacial fractures were seen in 277 patients. These were 261 males (94.2%) and 16 females (5.8%) with a male to female ratio of 16.3:1. Most of the patients 79.8% were in the age group of 11 to 40 years. Most common cause of injury was Road Traffic Collisions (RTCs; 62.1%), followed by fall (20.2%), assault (14.4%) and others (3.3%). Fractures of the mandible (52.3%) and zygomatic complex (18.9%) were the most common maxillofacial fractures reported in our study. 196 patients sustained associated injuries with a prevalence of soft tissue injury (61.2%). Majority of fractures were treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF; 71.9%) of patients followed by closed reduction (17.7%) and observation only (10.4%). Postoperative complications were presented in 16.8% of the patients in the study. Conclusion: RTC is the commonest cause of maxillofacial injury with a male predominance in our study. Mandibular and zygomatic complex fractures were the most common. ORIF remains the preferred method of treatment.
ABSTRACT
Introducción Los reemplazos articulares son calificados como procedimientos seguros y exitosos para el tratamiento de la osteoartrosis severa de cadera y rodilla alrededor del mundo. Las tasas de reingreso en los primeros 30 días y las complicaciones se han descrito como una medida para evaluar estándares de calidad. En Colombia no se conoce el comportamiento de éstos estándares. Este estudio pretende aportar información de un centro especializado en reemplazos articulares en Bogotá DC, Colombia, Suramérica. Materiales & Métodos Se realizó un estudio observacional prospectivo de una cohorte de 1.126 pacientes con 626 reemplazos totales de cadera (RTC) y 500 de rodilla (RTR), operados entre los años 2011-2015 en el Hospital Universitario San Ignacio de Bogotá DC, Colombia. Se reportan las tasas de reingreso a 30 días y las complicaciones. Se analiza mediante un modelo de regresión las asociaciones entre variables sociodemográficas y clínicas con el reingreso y las complicaciones. Resultados El 71% de los pacientes fueron mujeres, el promedio de edad de 63 años en los hombres y 65 años en mujeres. La estancia hospitalaria promedio fue de 3,5 días (DE:0,81-6,29). La tasa de reingreso a 30 días por cualquier causa fue 10,8% y la tasa de complicaciones asociadas al procedimiento fue 5,8%, se requirió reintervención quirúrgica en 1,5% de los pacientes. Se encontró asociación estadísticamente significativa entre el índice de Charlson mayor a 2 (OR=2,33[IC95% 1,3-4,18], p=0.004) y el reingreso a 30 días. La principal complicación en RTC fue luxación (1,4%) y en RTR infección de sitio quirúrgico (4%). Se encontró una asociación significativa entre complicaciones a 30 días con los días de hospitalización (OR=1,17[IC95% 1,09-1,25], p=0,00); y con el cirujano 4 en RTR (OR=2,28[IC95% 1,29-4,01], p=0,04); las demás variables no mostraron diferencias significativas. No se aprecian grandes diferencias con lo reportado en la literatura, asociación con estancia hospitalaria y experiencia del cirujano. Discusión La experiencia del cirujano y la aplicación de guías clínicas que optimicen los procesos intrahospitalarios y regulen los días de estancia hospitalaria, se relacionan con un mejor desenlace en la evolución de los pacientes en cuanto al número de complicaciones y reingresos a 30 días.
Background Joint replacements are always defined as safe and successful procedures for the treatment of severe osteoarthritis of the hip and knee around the world. Rates of readmission within initial post surgical 30 days and complications are described as a measure to assess quality standards. In Colombia the behavior of the standards are mainly unknown. Aim of study is to provide information from a specialized in joint replacements center in Colombia. Methods A prospective observational study was carried out on a cohort of 1,126 patients with 626 total hip replacements (THR) and 500 knee replacements (TKR), who underwent surgery between 2011-2015 at a University Hospital in Bogotá, Colombia. 30-day readmission rates and complications were reported. The associations between sociodemographic and clinical variables with readmission and complications were analyzed using a regression model. Results 71% of the patients were women, the average age was 63 years for men and 65 years for women. The mean hospital stay was 3.5 days (SD: 0.81-6.29). The 30-day readmission rate for any cause was 10.8% and the rate of complications associated with the procedure was 5.8%. Additional surgical procedures were required in 1.5% of the patients. A statistically significant association was found between the Charlson index greater than 2 (OR=2.33 [95% CI 1.3-4.18], p=0.004) and readmission at 30 days. The main complication in THR was dislocation (1.4%) and surgical site infection (4%) in TKR. A significant association was found between complications at 30 days and days of hospitalization (OR=1.17 [95% CI 1.09-1.25], p=0.00); and with surgeon 4 in TKR (OR=2.28 [95% CI 1.29-4.01], p=0.04); the other variables did not show significant differences. No differences were found with what is reported in the literature, association with hospital stay and experience of the surgeon. Discussion The surgeon's experience and the application of clinical guidelines that optimize in-hospital processes and regulate the days of hospital stay are related to a better outcome in the evolution of patients in terms of the number of complications and readmissions after 30 days.

Objective: To make a system evaluation on the therapeutic effect and safety of Mailuoning Injection(MI) in treating acute stage of ischemic brain infarction apoplexy(IBIA).Methods: Literatures about randomized controlled trial (RTC) on MI in treating acute stage of IBIA were collected,and the qualified researches were filtrated.Then made a quality evaluation by Jadad scoring method, and took statistics of the correlated data with the methods of heterogeneity test,Meta-analysis,filler-graph analysis and sensitivity analysis etc.Results: There were eight items accorded with bringing into standard.Then the methodology quality of each articles were evaluated adopting Jadad scoring standard,and the trials each get one score,belonging to low-quality literatures.The analytic results of Meta-analysis showed that compared with blank control group,the total effective rate comparison relative risk(RR) to merge equaled 1.19,99% confidence interval(CI) was(1.09,1.30),the case-fatality rate(CFR) comparison relative risk(RR) equaled 0.93,99% confidence interval(CI) was(0.02,36.07). Conclusion: This system evaluation demonstrated that MI was good for treating acute stage of IBIA,and no serious adverse reactions.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship of hyperglycemia to trauma score,infection,MODS and survival time of the dead patients caused by trauma.Methods A total of 455 cases of dead trauma patients selected randomly from our hospital,were divided into two groups with normal blood glucose(n=57) or hyperglycemia(n=298).The RTC,GCS and the cases of infection and MODS as well as the survival time of two groups were recorded,and the coefficients of relationship between the blood glucose and the indexes of MODS in the dead trauma patients were calculated.Results The levels of RTC,GCS in the group with hyperglycemia were higher than that with normal blood glucose(P
