This study aims to assess the correlation between the Bony Facial Trauma Score (BFTS) and the costs associated with managing facial trauma.
Utilized a large database to analyze costs related to facial trauma management.
Evaluated associations between BFTS, hospital costs, length of stay, and surgical needs.
BFTS significantly correlates with increased hospital costs and longer length of stay.
Higher BFTS scores are associated with a greater likelihood of requiring surgery.
Abstract
BFTS correlates with hospital cost, LOS, and need for surgery, supporting its role as a standardized tool to quantify facial trauma severity and anticipate cost and resource utilization in clinical care.
