Data were collected from structured interviews and review of medical records. The cohort of 1,480 road trauma survivors included 280 pedestrians, 174 cyclists, 118 motorcyclists, 683 motor vehicle drivers, and 225 passengers. Median age was 40 (IQR = [27, 57]) years; 680 (46%) were female. Males and younger patients were significantly more likely to report better pre-injury physical health. Motorcyclists and cyclists tended to report better physical health and less severe somatic symptoms, whereas pedestrians and motor vehicle drivers reported better mental health. Injury severity and hospital admission rates were higher in pedestrians and motorcyclists and lower in motorists. Upper and lower extremity injuries were most common in pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists, whereas neck injuries were most common in motor vehicle drivers and passengers. In a large cohort of road trauma survivors, overall injury severity was low. Motorcyclists and pedestrians, but not cyclists, had more severe injuries than motorists. Extremity injuries were more common in vulnerable road users. Future research will investigate one-year recovery outcomes and identify risk factors for poor recovery.]]> Wed, 13 Sep 2023 10:23:12 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/2233670 The Burden of Motorcycle Crash Injuries on the Public Health System in Kisumu City, Kenya https://trid.trb.org/View/2138375 Wed, 13 Sep 2023 10:23:11 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/2138375 Qualification of Pilots with Aero-Otitis Media After Balloon Eustachian Tuboplasty https://trid.trb.org/View/2229372 Wed, 13 Sep 2023 10:23:11 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/2229372 Road traffic injury-related disabilities in geriatric population https://trid.trb.org/View/2233773 Wed, 13 Sep 2023 10:23:11 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/2233773 Effectiveness of first-aid education in road traffic crashes on non-healthcare professionals’ knowledge, attitude, and skills: a systematic review https://trid.trb.org/View/2237087 Wed, 06 Sep 2023 15:14:35 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/2237087 Factors associated with the severity of road traffic injuries from emergency department based surveillance system in two Mexican cities https://trid.trb.org/View/1946573 Tue, 10 May 2022 14:35:19 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1946573 Modeling the Structural Relationships between Travel Distance, Built Environment, and Cancer Outcomes https://trid.trb.org/View/1942667 Tue, 10 May 2022 14:35:18 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1942667 Evaluation of Law Enforcement Agency Injury Severity Assessments https://trid.trb.org/View/1941722 Fri, 15 Apr 2022 17:15:51 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1941722 Comparison of physical and psychological health outcomes for motorcyclists and other road users after land transport crashes: An inception cohort study https://trid.trb.org/View/1903741 17 years, injured following land-transport crashes in New South Wales, Australia (July 2013-November 2016). Interviews conducted at baseline, 6-and 12-months post-injury elicited demographic, socioeconomic, and self-reported health conditions. Primary analysis involved 1854 participants who were recruited at baseline as three distinct road user groups; 628 (33.9%) motorcyclists, 927 (50%) vehicle occupants and 299 (16.1%) bicyclists. At baseline, injury patterns differed significantly between road user groups; motorcyclists were more than twice as likely to sustain lower extremity injury (p < 0.001); to have more severe injury severity scores (p < 0.001) and longer hospital stays versus vs vehicle occupants and bicyclists (< 0.001) across these measures. Injured motorcyclists were predominantly male (88.1%, p < 0.001), were younger on average (38 years) than bicyclists (41.5 years), had lower income and education levels, and poorer pre-injury physical health than other road user groups. Despite these differences, at 12 months post-injury motorcyclists had better physical health (SF12-PCS 2.07 (0.77, 3.36), p = 0.002) and reported lower pain scores (- 0.51 (- 0.83, - 0.2), p < 0.001) than vehicle occupants. Motorcyclists displayed less evidence of psychological distress than vehicle occupants, but more than bicyclists across several measures used. Road user types differ in important characteristics, including pre-injury health status and recovery after injury. As vulnerable road users experiencing transport crash and considering their higher initial injury severity, the degree of recovery among motorcyclists compared with other user types is remarkable and unexplained. Health and recovery outcomes after land-transport crashes is least favorable among vehicle occupants despite their higher levels of protection in a crash. This information is valuable for targeting early intervention strategies by road user type during the post-crash care phase, to improve long-term recovery.]]> Wed, 26 Jan 2022 14:14:47 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1903741 Airbag Burns: An Unfortunate Consequence of Motor Vehicle Safety https://trid.trb.org/View/1897080 Mon, 24 Jan 2022 17:27:40 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1897080 Using Integrated Data to Examine Characteristics Related to Pedestrian Injuries https://trid.trb.org/View/1898624 Thu, 13 Jan 2022 13:52:58 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1898624 Characteristics and outcomes following motorized and non-motorized vehicular trauma in a resource-limited setting https://trid.trb.org/View/1897074 8 was slightly higher in the non-motorized group (99% versus 98%, p<0.01), though injury severity did not differ significantly between the two groups. A higher proportion in the motorized group had the most severe injury of contusions and abrasions (56% versus 50%, p<0.01). In contrast, the non-motorized group had a higher proportion of orthopedic injuries (24% versus 16%, p<0.01). The crude mortality rate was 4.51% and 2.15% in the motorized and non-motorized groups, respectively. After controlling for demographic factors and injury severity, the incidence rate ratio of mortality did not differ significantly between motorized and non-motorized trauma groups (IRR 0.91, p=0.35). Non-motorized vehicular trauma remains a significant proportion of morbidity and mortality resulting from road traffic injuries. The injury severity and incidence rate ratio of mortality did not differ between motorized and non-motorized trauma groups. Health care providers should not underestimate the severity of injuries from non-motorized trauma.]]> Tue, 21 Dec 2021 13:07:24 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1897074
