Timely pedestrian injury data can help collaborating federal, state, and local partners rapidly monitor trends, identify disparities, and implement strategies supporting the Safe System approach, a framework for preventing traffic injuries among all road users.]]> Wed, 26 Jun 2024 14:16:48 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/2381612 https://trid.trb.org/View/2014830 Wed, 31 Aug 2022 11:17:21 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/2014830 https://trid.trb.org/View/1940037 Mon, 13 Jun 2022 13:14:36 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1940037 https://trid.trb.org/View/1958038 9,000 suicide deaths occur among older adults each year. Deaths among older adults account for 33% of these unintentional injury deaths and 19% of suicide deaths among all age groups. Nonfatal injuries from these causes are more common in this age group and can lead to long-term health consequences, such as brain injury and loss of independence. This study included 2018 data from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) to determine the prevalence of selected nonfatal injuries among older adults treated in emergency departments (EDs) and hospitals. Injury mechanisms among the leading causes of injury death in older adults were studied, including unintentional falls, unintentional traffic-related motor vehicle crashes, unintentional opioid overdoses, and self-harm (suicidal and non-suicidal by any mechanism). In 2018, an estimated 2.4 million ED visits and >700,000 hospitalizations from these injuries occurred among adults aged =65 years. Unintentional falls accounted for >90% of the selected ED visits and hospitalizations. Injuries among older adults can be prevented. Educational campaigns, such as CDC's Still Going Strong* awareness campaign, that use positive messages can encourage older adults to take steps to prevent injuries. Health care providers can help prevent injuries by recommending that older patients participate in effective interventions, including referrals to physical therapy and deprescribing certain medications.]]> Mon, 13 Jun 2022 13:14:36 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1958038 https://trid.trb.org/View/1899548 Fri, 11 Feb 2022 14:24:06 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1899548 https://trid.trb.org/View/1905576 Fri, 11 Feb 2022 14:24:06 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1905576 https://trid.trb.org/View/1888994 Tue, 28 Dec 2021 09:33:31 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1888994 https://trid.trb.org/View/1888993 Tue, 28 Dec 2021 09:33:31 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1888993 https://trid.trb.org/View/1846623 Wed, 26 May 2021 11:18:38 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1846623 https://trid.trb.org/View/1702532 =65 years, which places them at greater risk for severe consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection. During February-March 2020, COVID-19 outbreaks associated with three cruise ship voyages have caused more than 800 laboratory-confirmed cases among passengers and crew, including 10 deaths. Transmission occurred across multiple voyages of several ships. This report describes public health responses to COVID-19 outbreaks on these ships. COVID-19 on cruise ships poses a risk for rapid spread of disease, causing outbreaks in a vulnerable population, and aggressive efforts are required to contain spread. All persons should defer all cruise travel worldwide during the COVID-19 pandemic.]]> Mon, 27 Apr 2020 09:07:09 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1702532 https://trid.trb.org/View/1686352 Mon, 13 Apr 2020 09:36:44 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1686352 https://trid.trb.org/View/1424043 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 17:05:49 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1424043 https://trid.trb.org/View/1424042 32,000 deaths and 2 million nonfatal injuries occur on U.S. roads. CDC analyzed 2000 and 2013 data compiled by the World Health Organization and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to determine the number and rate of motor vehicle crash deaths in the United States and 19 other high-income OECD countries and analyzed estimated seat belt use and the percentage of deaths that involved alcohol-impaired driving or speeding, by country. In 2013, the United States motor vehicle crash death rate of 10.3 per 100,000 population had decreased 31% from the rate in 2000; among the 19 comparison countries, the rate had declined an average of 56% during this time. Among all 20 countries, the United States had the highest rate of crash deaths per 100,000 population (10.3); the highest rate of crash deaths per 10,000 registered vehicles (1.24), and the fifth highest rate of motor vehicle crash deaths per 100 million vehicle miles traveled (1.10). Among countries for which information on national seat belt use was available, the United States ranked 18th out of 20 for front seat use, and 13th out of 18 for rear seat use. Among 19 countries, the United States reported the second highest percentage of motor vehicle crash deaths involving alcohol-impaired driving (31%), and among 15, had the eighth highest percentage of crash deaths that involved speeding (29%). Motor vehicle injuries are predictable and preventable. Lower death rates in other high-income countries, as well as a high prevalence of risk factors in the United States, suggest that the United States can make more progress in reducing crash deaths. With a projected increase in U.S. crash deaths in 2015, the time is right to reassess U.S. progress and set new goals. By implementing effective strategies, including those that increase seat belt use and reduce alcohol-impaired driving and speeding, the United States can prevent thousands of motor vehicle crash-related injuries and deaths and hundreds of millions of dollars in direct medical costs every year.]]> Tue, 29 Nov 2016 17:05:47 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1424042 https://trid.trb.org/View/1420929 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 11:29:47 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1420929
