Brief summary

The COVID-19 global pandemic has led to a major professional and social national reorganization: professional because it involves a redeployment of medical staff and material resources, and social because it imposes prolonged containment measures on an entire population. The maxillofacial trauma activity is mainly linked to sports or leisure accidents, fights and road accidents. It seems to appear since the beginning of containment measures a significant drop in maxillofacial trauma activity at the national level, which, if it is demonstrated in a significant way in several French hospital centers, would allow to redeploy the material and human resources related to this activity on sectors in tension due to the pandemic.

Detailed description

This study will compare maxillo-facial activity during the first month of COVID-19 containment measures in France with a comparable period in 2018 and 2019. This comparison will be made in 10 major French hospital centers.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
evolution of number of maxillofacial trauma	1 year	evolution of number of maxillofacial trauma during COVID-19 first month of containment measures compared to the same period in 2018 and 2019.the number of patients from different investigator centers operated for a facial fracture occurring between March 16, 2020 and April 15, 2020 will be compared to the number of patients in these same centers operated for a facial fracture during the same period in 2018 and in 2019. A sub-group analysis, by center, will also be carried out.

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
variability in terms of type of trauma	1 year	study of variability in terms of type of trauma with and without confinement.
Comparative assessment of types of trauma by the inter-regional variability	1 year	Comparative assessment of types of trauma by the inter-regional variability : study of the inter-regional variability of maxillofacial trauma
