BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to analyzed the characteristics and treatment of @entity11253 in the elder @entity1 with @entity11253 in central China. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the characteristics and treatment of @entity11253 in the @entity1 over the age of 60 to analyze the trends and clinical characteristics of maxillofacial @entity130 in elder @entity1 from the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University (from 2010 to 2013) in central China and to present recommendations on prevention and management. RESULTS: Of the 932 @entity1 with @entity11253 , 126 aged over 60 years old accounting for 13.52% of all the @entity1 (male:female, 1.74:1; mean age, 67.08 years old). Approximately 52% of the @entity1 were injured by falls. The most frequently observed type of injuries was soft tissue injuries (100%), followed by @entity174 (83.05%). Of the @entity1 with soft tissue injuries, the abrasions accounted the most, followed by lacerations. The numbers of @entity1 of midface @entity174 (60 @entity1 ) were almost similar to the number of lower face @entity174 (66 @entity1 ). Eighty two @entity1 (65.08%%) demonstrated associated injuries, of which @entity542 were the most prevalent. One hundred and four @entity1 (82.54%) had other systemic medical conditions, with @entity65 the most and followed by @entity85 . Furthermore, the study indicated a relationship between maxillofacial @entity174 and @entity85 . Only 13 @entity1 (10.32%) sustained local infections, of whom had other medical conditions. Most of the @entity8494 (85.71%) in older @entity1 were operated including debridement, fixing loose teeth, reduction, intermaxillary fixation and open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). CONCLUSIONS: Our analysis of the characteristics of @entity11253 in the elder patents may help to promote clinical research to develop more effective treatment and possibly prevent such injuries.
