Functional outcome after road-crash injury: Description of the ESPARR victims cohort and 6-month follow-up results

Identification and validation of a logistic regression model for predicting serious injuries associated with motor vehicle crashes

“…Logistic regression is a maximum-likelihood method that has been used in hundreds of studies of crash outcome (e.g., Hours et al, 2010;Robertson and Vanlaar, 2008;Schiff et al, 2008). For a binary response variable the linear logistic regression model, expressed in terms of the logit transformation of the ith individual's response probability, p i (e.g., probability of severe injury), is a linear function of the vector of explanatory variables or,…”

Predictive factors of chronic post-traumatic stress disorder 6 months after a road traffic accident

“…Subjects were recruited between October 2004 and July 2006. The ESPARR methodology has been detailed elsewhere (Hours et al, 2010). During the study period, 1625 persons over 15 years of age were identified by interviewers, and 1168 (72%) participated in the ESPARR study.…”

Acidentes de trânsito com adultos e suas consequências após a alta hospitalar

“…A associação entre a dependência funcional e a duração da hospitalização tem sido relatada em outros estudos (32,34,(123)(124) .…”

“…Após o acidente de trânsito, estudos internacionais têm evidenciado diminuição da qualidade de vida das vítimas (27,31) , limitações funcionais (32)(33) , dificuldades para retornar ao trabalho (34)(35) e transtorno de estresse pós-traumático (33,36) .…”

“…Dos 178 adultos avaliados nesse estudo, 63 apresentaram complicações médicas após o trauma (39) . Outra pesquisa francesa identificou que apenas 31,9% das vítimas consideravam o seu estado de saúde ser tão bom quanto antes do trauma, seis meses após o acidente de trânsito (32) .…”
