“…Previous studies have also identified varied distribution of harm among body regions for different harm measures. For example, head and thorax injuries have been identified as the most frequent causes of death among drivers (Ndiaye et al 2009) or among belted light vehicle occupants (Mango and Garthe 1998), disability to the extremities and head have been reported to result in the most life years lost to injury in frontal and side crashes (McMurry et al 2015), and substantial costs among all NASS CDS occupants have been attributed to abdominal and spinal injuries as well as to the head, thorax, and extremities (Eigen and Martin 2005). However, it is easier to compare the relative importance of these outcomes when these measures are applied to a single data set as in the current methodology.…”

Objective: A multiharm approach for analyzing crash and injury data was developed for the ultimate purpose of getting a richer picture of motor vehicle crash outcomes for identifying research opportunities in crash safety. Methods: Methods were illustrated using a retrospective analysis of 69,597 occupant cases from NASS CDS from 2005 to 2015. Occupant cases were analyzed by frequency and severity of outcome: fatality, injury by Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS), number of cases, attributable fatality, disability, and injury costs. Comparative analysis variables included precrash scenario, impact type, and injured body region. Results: Crash and injury prevention opportunities vary depending on the search parameters. For example, occupants in rear-end crash scenarios were more frequent than in any other precrash configuration, yet there were significantly more fatalities and serious injury cases in control loss, road departure, and opposite direction crashes. Fatality is most frequently associated with head and thorax injury, and disability is primarily associated with extremity injury. Costs attributed to specific body regions are more evenly distributed, dominated by injuries to the head, thorax, and extremities but with contributions from all body regions. Though AIS 3+ can be used as a single measure of harm, an analysis based on multiple measures of harm gives a much more detailed picture of the risk presented by a particular injury or set of crash conditions. Conclusions: The developed methods represent a new approach to crash data mining that is expected to be useful for the identification of research priorities and opportunities for reduction of crashes and injuries. As the pace of crash safety improvement accelerates with innovations in both active and passive safety, these techniques for combining outcome measures for insights beyond fatality and serious injury will be increasingly valuable.

“…En tal sentido, Domínguez et al (2007) señalan que el suicidio por otros medios, durante la conducción, es mucho menos frecuente que la colisión suicida del vehículo o que la intoxicación por monóxido de carbono procedente del motor del vehículo, por lo que resulta de gran relevancia prestar especial atención en aquellos accidentes en los que sólo interviene un vehículo con una única persona a bordo, con el fin de diagnosticar correctamente un hecho como accidente de tránsito, así como también para descubrir y documentar los suicidios o detectar posibles homicidios. De cualquier forma, determinar la causa de muerte durante el examen externo policial no siempre resulta posible, pues para una de cada cuatro víctimas por accidente de tránsito resultaría imposible explicar la muerte a partir de una lesión específica (Ndiaye, Chambost y Chiron, 2009).…”

información del artículo Historia del artículo: Recibido el 9 de enero de 2015 Aceptado el 4 de febrero de 2015 On-line el 8 de abril de 2015 Palabras clave: Criminalística Evaluación psicológica reconstructiva Investigación criminal Muerte indeterminadar e s u m e n No contar con la víctima, sea por su muerte o su desaparición, resulta uno de los escenarios de mayor complejidad para llevar a cabo una valoración psíquica forense, sin embargo factible de realizar mediante técnicas de evaluación psicológica retrospectiva. Ante el silencio de la víctima, la autopsia psicológica surge como una de las técnicas de evaluación psicológica reconstructiva de mayor relevancia en el último tiempo, constituyendo un instrumento forense imprescindible a la hora de orientar a los investigadores respecto de las causas de muerte en aquellos casos en que mediante la investigación policial y médico-forense no se ha logrado una convicción criminalística de la etiología de muerte. En el presente artículo se revisan estrategias de aplicación de autopsia psicológica en casos de muertes de alta complejidad. Se concluye que la autopsia psicológica, aun cuando se expresa en términos probabilísticos, es un instrumento de gran relevancia en la investigación criminal en casos de muerte indeterminada o de origen simulado, siendo factible su aplicación en el contexto forense en base a la evidencia empírica en la cual sustenta sus resultados.

ÖZET AMAÇ: Çalışmada; trafik kazasına maruz kalan ve otopsi yapılmadan defnedilen olguların analizi ile adli olgu bildirimi ve otopsinin öneminin vurgulanması amaçlanmaktadır. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: BULGULAR:Olguların 376'sı (%69.4) erkek, 166'sı (%30.6) kadın; ortalama yaş 58.5±20.9 (dağılım 3-98 yaş) idi. En fazla olgu 61-üstü yaş grubunda (301 olgu-%55.5) bulunuyordu. Olguların 336'sı (%62.0) hastanede, 241'i (%44.5) kaza sonrası 1-12 ay içerisinde ölmüş olup ölü muayenesi sadece 124 (%22.9) olguda yapılmıştı. Olguların 344'ünde (%63.5) adli olgu bildirimi yapılmadan Mernis ölüm tutanağı düzenlendiği belirlendi. Kurul kararında; 95 olguda (%17.5) otopsi yapılmadığından ölüm nedeninin belirlenemediği, 57 (%10.5) olguda ise otopsi yapılmadığından kaza ile ölüm arasında illiyet bağı olup olmadığının bilinemeyeceği yönünde görüş belirtilmişti. SONUÇ:Bulgularımız, trafik kazasına maruz kalan olgularda adli olgu bildiriminin gerçekleştirilmesinin ve zamanında otopsi yapılma-sının önemini vurgulamaktadır.Anahtar sözcükler: Adli olgu bildirimi, illiyet bağı; otopsi; ölü muayenesi; ölüm nedeni; trafik kazası.
