- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method In this epidemiologic study a cohort of patients with MFT transferred and/or referred to the National Hospital of Odonto-Stomatology Ho Chi Minh City (NHOS-HCMC), Vietnam, was analyzed following the MFISS and FISS protocol. This study will give a description of the current situation in Vietnam concerning maxillofacial trauma. The MFISS and FISS are proportionally compared to each other. The MFISS will probably give a more clear representation regarding the extent of the maxillofacial trauma and a greater predictive value regarding the time of the healingproces.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Another aim is to evaluate the effects of non-helmet usage on traumatic brain injury, neck injury and severity of facial injury among injured motorcyclists using the AIS-90 (head and neck, face), MFISS and FISS scores. This data is compared with data of maxillofacial trauma in helmeted motorcyclist retrieved from trauma centers situated in HCMC (if possible), Amsterdam (AMC and VUmc) and literature.
