Özet:

 


Objectives: This cross-sectional study evaluated the prevalence of injuries in
the maxillofacial complex of victims of violence attended by a Mobile Emergency
Care Service in a municipality of Northeastern Brazil. 

Materials and Methods: A total of 2,347 records were evaluated from February 2014
to December 2016, of which 337 (14.3%) corresponded to victims of violence.
Information related to sociodemographic profile, associated factors and
violence was collected. Data were analyzed through descriptive and inferential
statistics, with significance level of 5%.

 Results:
There was predominance of males (76.3%) and age group of 20-29 years (29.7%). Occurrences
were more frequent at night (61.4%) and at the weekend (40.7%). Alcohol use was
observed in 63.5% of victims and 16.0% reported illicit drug use, with
predominance of crack (92.6%). The most prevalent type of aggression was
physical violence (54.9%). The majority of victims presented a single lesion
(72.7%) with predominance of laceration (80.4%). Cases of head and face
injuries represented, respectively, 33.5% and 35.9% of aggressions. Face
injuries showed association with gender (p = 0.027) and number of injuries (p =
0.042). 

Conclusions: The main victims
of violence are young men who have used alcohol and illicit drugs. Physical
aggression is the most frequent type of violence, with high occurrence of head
and face injuries. Face injuries showed association with gender and number of
lesions, both being more frequent among women.
