Marchini L, et al. - Authors sought to provide USA-wide data of hospital-based Emergency Department (ED) visits for facial fractures among older adults. They also investigated the outcomes associated with these visits. For the present study, they used the Nationwide Emergency Department Sample (NEDS) for the years 2008 to 2014. The most common type of facial fracture among older adults were nasal bone fractures. The main cause of facial fractures are falls. Over the study period, they did not note any significant trend in mortality rates, and a significant financial burden related to the facial fracture-related ED visits was seen.
