“…Our mean age of 42 years was similar to that in international studies on cycling injuries. [3,15] Locally, it is slightly younger than the median age of the study population reported by Kwan et al (48 years old). [11] It is slightly older when compared to the earlier local studies reviewing cycling injuries in 2004-2005 (median age 30-32 years old) by Heng et al [12] and injuries caused by personal mobility devices (PMDs) and electric bicycles later in 2016 (mean age 32 years old) by Cha et al [16] There may be a trend towards older age group in terms of injury patterns as our local population age and more efforts on active aging are promoted.…”

“…Fractures were also the common injuries in another study on cycling-related injuries in Norway, albeit with greater incidence of 65%. [15] Faulkner et al [3] also found that fractures were the most common injuries requiring orthopedic intervention, along with an increase in the need for orthopedic intervention during COVID-19. In contrast, in the local pediatric study population, the most common injuries were superficial injuries (46.1%) followed by fractures (19.2%).…”

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to review bicycle-related injuries during the COVID-19 pandemic to assist with reinforcement or implementation of new policies for injury prevention.METHODS: This is a retrospective descriptive analysis of injuries sustained during cycling for patients 18 years old and above who presented to Singapore General Hospital from January to June 2021. Medical records were reviewed and consolidated with Microsoft Excel. Descriptive analyses were used to summarize patient characteristics, and differences in characteristics subgrouped by triage acuity and discharge status were analyzed. RESULTS:The study included 272 patients with a mean age of 43 years and a male predominance (71.7%). Most presented without referrals (88.2%) and were not conveyed by ambulances (70.6%). Based on acuity catagory, there were 24 (8.8%) Priority 1 (P1) patients with 7 trauma activations, 174 (64.0%) and 74 (27.2%) P2 and P3 patients respectively. The most common injuries were fractures (34.2%), followed by superficial abrasion/contusion (29.4%) and laceration/wound (19.1%). Thirteen (4.8%) patients experienced head injury and 85 patients (31.3%) were documented to be wearing a helmet. The majority occurred on the roads as traffic accidents (32.7%). Forty-two patients (15.4%) were admitted with a mean length of stay of 4.1 d and 17 (6.3%) undergone surgical procedures. Out of 214 (78.7%) discharged patients, no re-attendances or mortality were observed. In the subgroup analysis, higher acuity patients were generally older, with higher proportions of head injuries leading to admission.CONCLUSION: Our study highlights significant morbidities in bicycle-related injuries. There is also a high proportion of fractures in the young healthy male population. Injury prevention is paramount and we propose emphasizing helmet use and road user safety.

“…A review of the medical records of patients with cycling-related injuries who were admitted to Sørlandet Hospital in Kristiansand (Norway) between 2012 and 2014 showed, among other things, that fractures and minor head injuries were most frequent. A total of 10% of cycling-related injuries reported were considered severe and critical for the adult group, with four adults showing significant sequelae after 12 months [40]. Such a study presented several starting points for prevention that also apply to the present research.…”

Accidents are one of the most important public health concerns because of their high prevalence and considerable health outcomes. Although higher education institutions (HEIs) play an important role in health promotion and disease prevention, accidents are rarely investigated in this setting. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to address this gap by analyzing the frequency and characteristics of employee and student accidents at HEIs in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. A dataset of all accidents that happened to employees and students at HEIs in Rhineland-Palatinate from December 2014 to December 2019 and the characteristics of these accidents was provided by the responsible statutory accident insurance (Accident Insurance Fund of Rhineland-Palatinate). Modified thousand-men quotas (the rate of injuries per 1000 people) were calculated to investigate the differences in frequencies and characteristics of accidents between employees and students, as well as between institutions. A total of 3810 accidents (n = 1326; 34.8% work and n = 2484; 65.2% commuting) were reported, of which 426 involved employees and 3384 involved students. The frequency and characteristics of the accidents varied between employees and students, as well as between institutions. Sports programs at HEIs for example imply high risks for unintentional injuries especially for students (as they make up the majority of participants). Other main findings are that medical students, as well as students of subjects including laboratory work, are at a higher risk to experience study-related accidents whereas employees seem to be at a higher risk when working in a technical field. The results call for the development of accident prevention concepts at HEIs and the implementation of interventions in respective institutions and target groups.
