Examination of morbidity and mortality of cases according to intra-vehicle position and accident mechanism

Abstract

Since most people who are injured or die in traffic accidents have an active professional life, significant rehabilitation expenditure and labor loss occur along with diagnosis and treatment costs. Our study and similar studies not only show the effectiveness of the measures taken but also provide an insight into changing injury profiles and precautions to prevent them.

Kırşehir İlinde Trafik Kazası Nedeniyle Yoğun Bakım Ünitesinde 1 Mayıs 2016 – 1 Mayıs 2018 Tarihleri Arasında Yatan Hastaların Analizi: Retrospektif Çalışma

“…Traffic accident victims were most frequently admitted to ICU at 16:00-23:59 time interval (n=39, 45.4%) in the present study. This ratio was consistent with the studies reporting the frequency of traffic accident occurrence in our country (5,11,(14)(15)(16)(17)(18). The increased frequency of traffic accidents within this period may be due to its overlapping with the rush out time, sunset and the fatigue of the drivers.…”

“…Head trauma was the leading cause of singlesite injuries (n=23, 26.7%) whereas urogenital injury was determined in one patient as a single site injury after a traffic accident. Traffic accidents are reported to be more frequent in summer which is coherent for the present study (2,5,11,13,15,17). We determined 32.5% (n=28) of the traffic accidents happened in summer and 17.4%…”

“…Most of the accidents happened in 2017 (n=37, 43% (Table 2). Traffic accidents are reported to be more frequent in summer which is coherent for the present study (2,5,11,13,15,17). We determined 32.5% (n=28) of the traffic accidents happened in summer and 17.4% In the present study, the overall mortality rate was 23.25% (n=20) which was lower than the studies…”

Challenging Issues Relating to Comprehensive Examination in Motor Vehicle Injuries: Forensic Medical Aspects

“…Автотранспортний травматизм є однією з найбільших частих причин травмування та займає одне з трьох провідних місць серед причин смерті населення як в Україні, так і у всьому світі [1]. Вивченням причин смертності та особливостей травмування людини при автотравмі займаються як вітчизняні судові медики, так і закордонні науковці [2,3,4,5]. При цьому, як вказують дослідники, доволі часто дорожньо-транспортні пригоди (ДТП) виникають не тільки з вини водія, а і з вини самих пішоходів, які порушують правила дорожнього руху та своїми діями створюють небезпечну ситуацію на дорозі.…”

Impacto emocional dos acidentes de trânsito em crianças: uma revisão sistemática

“…As sequelas decorrentes dos acidentes de trânsito (AT) acarretam prejuízos significativos para a saúde das crianças (LI et al, 2016). Assim, estas lesões decorrentes dos AT interferem nas atividades de vida diária da criança, pais, cuidadores e da família (MERAL et al, 2018). Diversas áreas são afetadas como desempenho das atividades no trabalho, recreação/lazer, por conta das atividades de diagnóstico, tratamento e reabilitação física e emocional.…”
