Factors associated with postoperative complications after orthognathic surgery - a National Swedish register-based cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The aim of the study was to identify patient-specific and/or surgery-specific factors that may predict complications following orthognathic surgery, using data from the Swedish National Register of Orthognathic Surgery (NROK).

Methods

In this retrospective register-based cohort study, data from NROK (2017-2020) was analyzed to identify risk factors for complications following single-jaw maxilla surgery, mandibular surgery, and bimaxillary surgery. Outcome data on postoperative infection (POI), removal of osteosynthesis material, re-operation, and persistent neurosensory disturbance (NSD) were collected 12-months postoperatively.

Results

Among the 428 patients included in the study, 100 had single-jaw maxilla surgery, 130 had mandible surgery, and 198 had bimax
