The Comprehensive Facial Injury (CFI) Score Is an Early Predictor of the Management for Mild, Moderate and Severe Facial Trauma.

ABSTRACT: Identifying groups of patients with homogeneous characteristics and comparable outcomes improves clinical activity, patients' management, and scientific research. This study aims to define mild, moderate, and severe facial trauma by validating two cut-off values of the Comprehensive Facial Injury (CFI) score and describing their foreseeable clinical needs to create a useful guide in patient management, starting from the first evaluation. The individual CFI score, overall surgical time, and length of hospitalization are calculated for a sample of 1400 facial-injured patients. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis and the corresponding Area Under the Curve (AUC) is tested, and a CFI score ≥4 is selected to discriminate patients undergoing surgical management under general anesthes
