简介耳鼻咽喉科急诊中最常见的疾病之一,与其他面部骨折相比,与鼻骨骨折(NBFs)有关。发病高峰出现在11至30岁的年龄组。目的本评价致力于NBFs的病因和流行病学研究。方法在本横断面研究中,对376例NBF患者进行了评估。必要的信息,如性别,年龄,教育,工作,NBF的原因,患者的临床症状已记录在清单上。结果76.9%的患者为男性,23.1%为女性;37.5%的患者为个体户,他们中的大多数来自城市地区。交通事故(26.6%)和下降(25.5%)是NBF的主要原因。NBF最常见的临床症状是压痛(96%;n=361)。鼻肿胀(90.4%;n=340),畸形(89.4%;n=336)。结论结果表明,未受过高等教育的青年男性和自雇人士的NBF发生率较高,这可能与交通事故和打架有关。此外,falls,殴打和意外打击是女性NBF的最常见原因。因此,为了降低耳鼻咽喉外伤的发生率,未来应增加有关一般生活技能的培训,并提供有关使用个人安全设备和措施的意识。
Introduction One of the most observed diseases in the otorhinolaryngology emergency, compared with the other facial fractures, is related to nasal bone fractures (NBFs). The peak of incidence is seen in the age group ranging from 11 to 30 years old. Objective The present evaluation was devoted to the etiology and epidemiological study of NBFs. Methods In the present cross-sectional study, 376 patients with NBF were evaluated. The necessary information such as gender, age, education, job, causes of NBF, and clinical symptoms of patients have been recorded on the checklist. Results The study revealed that 76.9% of the patients were male and 23.1% were female; 37.5% of all patients were self-employed, and most of them were from urban areas. Traffic accident (26.6%) and falling (25.5%) were the main reasons for NBF. The most common clinical symptoms for NBF were tenderness (96%; n = 361), nasal swelling (90.4%; n = 340), and deformity (89.4%; n = 336). Conclusion The results showed that the incidence of NBFs in young men without higher education level and self-employed were high which can be related to the traffic accidents and fights. Also, falls, beatings and accidental hit are the most common causes of NBFs among women. Therefore, to decrease the incidence of otorhinolaryngology trauma, training about the general life skill and providing awareness about using personal safety equipment and measures should be increased at the future.
