Abstract

Background: Facial injuries are often accompanied by intracranial lesions and cervical fractures, which can increase morbidity and mortality. The Facial Injury Severity Scale (FISS) has been used as a tool to assess the severity of facial injuries, but its relationship to intracranial lesions and cervical fractures is not fully understood. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between the Facial Injury Severity Scale (FISS) and intracranial lesions and cervical fractures in patients with facial trauma. Method: This research is a retrospective observational study involving [number] of patients with facial injuries treated at [name of hospital] between [date] and [date]. Demographic data, FISS values, intracranial imaging results, and the presence of cervical fractures were collected from medical records. Statistical analysis was performed to assess the relationship between FISS values and the incidence of intracranial lesions and cervical fractures. Results: Of the [number of] patients analyzed, [percentage] had intracranial lesions and [percentage] had cervical fractures. Analysis showed that higher FISS values were significantly correlated with increased risk of intracranial lesions (p < 0.05) and cervical fractures (p < 0.05). The odds ratios for intracranial lesions and cervical fractures in patients with high FISS values are [number] and [number], respectively. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between the Facial Injury Severity Scale (FISS) value and the incidence of intracranial lesions and cervical fractures in patients with facial trauma. The use of FISS can assist in risk assessment and early management of facial injuries that are accompanied by serious complications. Further studies with larger samples are needed to confirm these findings and optimize the use of FISS in clinical practice.
