However, we revealed a significant deterioration of the “Emotional wellbeing” domain in younger patients (P = 0.03) and a severely affected domain of “Physical functioning” in older patients (P = 0.049).Conclusion: There was a significant negative psychological impact from facial trauma on younger patients. In contrast, older patients were more prone to physical impairment. Therefore, follow-up visits are an opportunity to screen and refer younger patients to mental health services in a timely manner to prevent severe psychological difficulties and an opportunity to identify older patients who require physical therapy.Keywords: quality of life, patient outcome assessment, maxillary fractures, zygomatic fractures, surgery, oralhttps://www.dovepress.com/health-related-quality-of-life-in-patients-after-surgically-treated-mi-peer-reviewed-article-TCRMquality of lifepatient outcome assessmentmaxillary fractureszygomatic fracturessurgeryoral. |
