Can an App-Based Maxillofacial Trauma Score Predict the Operative Time, ICU Need and Length of Stay?

ABSTRACT:

Study design

Retrospective chart review.

Objective

Injury and trauma scores are the mainstay of predicting outcomes of trauma patients. ZS (Zeeshan and Simon) maxillofacial trauma score is based on 4 previous facial trauma scores and is user friendly, app-based visually coded facial trauma scoring system. Our study was designed to seek the application of an app-based ZS maxillofacial trauma score to predict the operative time, intensive care unit (ICU) need and length of stay.

Methods

We performed a retrospective chart review of patients who presented to a university medical college teaching hospital with maxillofacial fractures from October 2018 until October 2019. ZS maxillofacial trauma scoring app was used to calculate the ZS maxillofacial trauma severity score, w
