“…In the present study, the longer length of hospitalization had a significant relationship with delayed RTW. Previous studies have also shown that the duration of hospitalization can be a good indicator of the severity of injuries and can cause a delay in returning to work 28 , 29 . Consistent with our findings, Abedzadeh-Kalahroudi et al reported that the rate and time of RTW among trauma patients with longer hospital stays were respectively higher and longer 21 .…”

This study aimed to determine the factors associated with return to work (RTW) after traumatic spinal fracture and spinal cord injury. It provided a predictive model for RTW among patients with spinal fractures and spinal cord injury and determined important factors influencing the time to RTW after injury. A retrospective cohort study was conducted in Poursina Tertiary Hospital, Guilan, Iran between May 2017 and May 2020. Patients aged 18 to 65 who were hospitalized with traumatic spinal fractures and spinal cord injuries were included. Demographic and clinical data were collected from the National Spinal Column/Cord Injury Registry of Iran (NSCIR-IR). A researcher-administered questionnaire was used through a telephone interview to obtain complementary data on social and occupational variables. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis was used to estimate the average time to RTW and the predictors of RTW were determined by multivariate Cox regression model. Of the 300 patients included, 78.6% returned to work and the average time to RTW was about 7 months. The mean age of the participants was 45.63 ± 14.76 years old. Among the study variables, having a Bachelor’s degree (HR 2.59; 95% CI 1.16–5.77; P = 0.019), complications after injury (HR 0.47; 95% CI 0.35–0.62; P = 0.0001), full coverage health insurance (HR 1.73; 95% CI 1.10–2.72; P = 0.016), opium use (HR 0.48; 95% CI 0.26–0.90; P = 0.023), number of vertebral fractures (HR 0.82; 95% CI 0.67–0.99; P = 0.046), and length of hospital stay (HR 0.95; 95% CI 0.93–0.98; P = 0.001) were found to be significant in predicting RTW in Cox regression analysis. Our analysis showed that wealthier people and those with high job mobility returned to work later.

“…The psychosocial factors in uencing motorcycle rider's behaviour, including sensation seeking, risktaking and intentional safe riding has been the topic of previous research (40)(41)(42)(43). Tunicliffe et al (43) studied a large cohort of Australian motorcyclists to analyse factors in uencing rider behaviour, nding attitude and sensation seeking to be consistent predictors of risky riding intentions.…”

Background: Serious injuries and fatalities among vulnerable road users on two wheeled motorised vehicles have increased across Australia and internationally in the past decade, yet fallen for motor vehicle occupants. Almost half of all reported motorcycle injury crashes cause serious injury or death, nearly double that of motor vehicle police-reported crashes. This study explores associations with sociodemographic and pre-injury health characteristics and health outcomes after a road traffic injury; aiming to compare motorcyclists with other road users and inform recovery care. Methods: An inception cohort study recruited 1854 individuals aged >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. Results: 628 (33.9%) motorcyclists, 299 (16.1%) bicyclists and 927 (50%) vehicle occupants were recruited at baseline. Injury patterns differed significantly between groups; motorcyclist injuries were more likely lower extremity, more severe (p<0.001) and result in longer hospital stays (p<0.001). 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 and reported less pain than vehicle occupants. Motorcyclists displayed less evidence of psychological distress than vehicle occupants, but more than bicyclists across several measures used. Conclusions: Road user types differ in important characteristics, including pre-injury health status and recovery after injury, which influences health and recovery outcomes after land-transport crashes. This information could aid post-crash care, such as targeting early intervention strategies not only to injury types, but also to the type of road user, to improve long-term recovery.
