Review question

ElementPlanned (methods)Found (results)
PopulationPatients with panfacial fractures, or complex maxillofacial trauma cohorts with separately extractable panfacial fracture data1811 patients with panfacial fractures (1506 male, 305 female) from 16 studies in 10 countries; 12 pure panfacial cohorts and 4 extractable subgroups
InterventionInitial CT or imaging-based assessment (CT, multiplanar or 3D reconstruction, computer-assisted planning) for diagnosis, fracture characterization, surgical planning or prognostic evaluationCT, multiplanar or 3D reconstruction reported for assessment and planning in most studies; direct CT-outcome prognostic evidence in 1 study, partial imaging/anatomic evidence in a few
ComparisonNot specifiedNone (single-arm outcomes)
OutcomesPostoperative infection, malocclusion, revision or secondary surgery, enophthalmos; airway outcomes, functional/aesthetic outcomes, mortality, length of stay, ICU admission, operative time; CT-derived variables linked to outcomesInfection (n=2), malocclusion (n=9), revision or secondary surgery (n=8), enophthalmos (n=5) pooled; airway management (n=2) and CT prognostic variables narrative
Study designsOriginal clinical studies: prospective studies, retrospective cohorts, case series, subgroup analyses of broader trauma cohorts; published from January 2015Observational studies (n=16): 1 prospective comparative, the rest retrospective cohorts or case series
TimingNot specifiedPostoperative follow-up varied across studies
