Injuries involving the head, face, and oral region are among the most frequent physical manifestations, making oral and maxillofacial trauma a potentially critical indicator of abuse in clinical settings. This study aimed to examine the occurrence, demographic characteristics, and injury patterns of head and neck trauma associated with domestic abuse using provincial hospital\u2010based data from Saskatchewan, Canada.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective population\u2010based analysis was conducted using the Health Research Data Platform\u2013Saskatchewan. Records from the National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS) and the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) were reviewed for the period of 2017\u20132024. ICD\u201010\u2010CA and CCI codes were used to identify head and neck injuries and cases in which the injuries were documented as related to domestic abuse. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 490,180 hospital visits for head and neck injuries, 510 were identified as domestic abuse\u2010related, corresponding to 0.10% of all visits. Most cases involved women (83.1%), with the highest proportion occurring among adults aged 21\u201340\u2009years. Physical abuse was the most frequently documented type, followed by sexual abuse, and intimate partners were the most common perpetrators. Superficial head injuries were the leading presentation (37%), followed by other head injuries (34%) and intracranial injuries (12%). About one\u2010third of cases required imaging, indicating a substantial burden of clinically significant trauma.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Domestic abuse\u2010related head and neck injuries in Saskatchewan disproportionately affect young adult women and are most often linked to intimate partner violence.
