Patients 60 Years and Older Suffering From Mandibular Fractures Registry

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Approximately 200 of patients of 60 years or older who present a mandibular fracture will be enrolled in this registry. All patients will be treated and followed up according to the local standard (routine) of care at around 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months after treatment.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Patients of 60 years or older who present a mandibular fracture will be enrolled in this registry. All patients will be treated (surgical or non-surgical) and followed up according to the local standard (routine) of care at around 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months after treatment. Data collection will include patient and fracture details, treatment details, functional, clinical and patient-reported outcomes and anticipated or procedure- and implant-related adverse events (i.e. complications). Radiographs and/or other images (e.g. CT scan) taken as per standard of care will be collected within the registry. Primary objectives are to obtain epidemiological data and describe the most common mandibular fracture patterns in older patients, to explore the relationship(s) between the treatment of mandibular fractures and its outcome in older patients, to identify risk factors and initiating factors of elderly related to mandible fracture events and to describe concomitant fractures associated with mandibular fractures in older patients.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Patient-reported outcome | Change in Geriatric/general Oral Self Assessment Index (GOHAI) over the follow up period: Self-reported measurement to describe three hypothetical dimensions 1) physical function, 2) psychosocial function and 3) pain and/or discomfort. It consisted of 12 items evaluated using a 5-point Likert from never to always in which higher scores indicated better outcomes. | Baseline (preinjury)/ 2 weeks / 6 weeks / 3 months / 6 months |
