Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on maxillofacial trauma surgery in Germany - implications from the national DRG database.
Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the personal and social lives of millions of people and also impacted the etiological factors of midfacial trauma such as falls, interpersonal violence or traffic accidents. The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on maxillofacial trauma surgery in the German healthcare system.
Methods: Nationwide data regarding the national diagnosis-related-group (DRG) inpatient billing system used in all German hospitals was received from the German Federal Statistical Office. Various trauma-associated procedures of the Operation and Procedure Classification System (OPS), a German modification of the International Classification of Medical Procedures (ICPM), were statistically associated with different epidemiological factors between 2012 and 2021.
Results: A statistically significant decrease (p < 0.05) in surgeries regarding maxillofacial fractures was registered during the years 2020 and 2021. Young male patients had the largest decline in maxillofacial trauma surgeries during this period (p < 0.05). In contrast. elderly patients 80 years and older showed a dramatic increase in the frequency of fractures in both the midface and the mandible (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: During the COVID 19 pandemic there has been a shift in the number, composition and etiology of maxillofacial fracture surgeries. Measures of social distancing and personal risk avoidance had a societal positive effect on the frequency of facial injuries. This stands in contrast to the drastic increase in fractures of elderly people who should be protected primarily by the measures taken. These results can help to understand these influences better in future pandemics.

期刊介绍：
Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery founded as Mund-, Kiefer- und Gesichtschirurgie is a peer-reviewed online journal. It is designed for clinicians as well as researchers.The quarterly journal offers comprehensive coverage of new techniques, important developments and innovative ideas in oral and maxillofacial surgery and interdisciplinary aspects of cranial, facial and oral diseases and their management. The journal publishes papers of the highest scientific merit and widest possible scope on work in oral and maxillofacial surgery as well as supporting specialties. Practice-oriented articles help improve the methods used in oral and maxillofacial surgery.Every aspect of oral and maxillofacial surgery is fully covered through a range of invited review articles, clinical and research articles, technical notes, abstracts, and case reports. Specific topics are: aesthetic facial surgery, clinical pathology, computer-assisted surgery, congenital and craniofacial deformities, dentoalveolar surgery, head and neck oncology, implant dentistry, oral medicine, orthognathic surgery, reconstructive surgery, skull base surgery, TMJ and trauma.Time-limited reviewing and electronic processing allow to publish articles as fast as possible. Accepted articles are rapidly accessible online.Clinical studies submitted for publication have to include a declaration that they have been approved by an ethical committee according to the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki 1964 (last amendment during the 52nd World Medical Association General Assembly, Edinburgh, Scotland, October 2000). Experimental animal studies have to be carried out according to the principles of laboratory animal care (NIH publication No 86-23, revised 1985).
