Results
A total of 2,785 trauma patients were evaluated from April 1, 1999, to December 31, 2009. Of these patients, 772 were traffic accidents victims, 376 were motorcycle crash victims with maxillofacial trauma, and 260 had maxillofacial fractures. Of the 376 patients with maxillofacial trauma, 307
were males and 69 females, with male/female ratio of 4:1.
Patient age at the time of injury was 10 to 65 years (mean 26.1 years). Among the total of 376 patients, 29 (8%) were 10 to 17 years old, 257 (68%) were in the 18-30-year- old age group (being 211 males and 46 females), 83 (22%) were 31 to 50 years old, and 7 (2%) were older than 50 years. The Kruskal-Wallis test did not show a statistically significant association between age groups and use of helmet (p=0.103). Table 1 describes absolute and relative distribution of maxillofacial trauma according to age and gender groups correlating the use of helmet
