Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The aim of this retrospective study is therefore to identify and statistically analyze potential perioperative factors influencing the occurrence of complications following orthognathic surgery. The results of this study could help surgeons identify the risk factors for each procedure and avoid them whenever possible. The primary endpoint is to understand which of the measured parameters influences the occurrence of complications following orthognathic surgery.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The secondary endpoint is to develop a classification system to distinguish between complications and errors following orthognathic surgery. The incidence of the various complications will also be calculated.
