Introduction:Expansion in road network, motorization, and urbanization in the country has been accompanied by a rise in road accidents leading to road traffic injuries (RTIs). Today RTIs are one of the leading causes of deaths, disabilities, and hospitalizations with severe socioeconomic costs across the world.Objectives:The following study analyses the: Age and sex distribution of injured in road traffic accidents (RTAs).Circumstances leading to RTA.Pattern and severity of injuries sustained in RTAs cases. Design:Retrospective record-based study.Materials and Methods:The aim of this study was to audit retrospectively the circumstances, severity, and pattern of injury sustained by vehicle occupants presenting to the Saraswathi Institute of Medical Sciences (SIMS) hospital Hapur, for a period of one year. Data were collected using the case sheets of 347 patients from the medical records section of hospital and analyzed using SPSS computer software version 16.0. Results are interpreted in terms of percentage, mean, chi-square, and z-test.Results:The pattern and severity of injuries sustained by 347 vehicle occupants admitted to the emergency department of SIMS, Hapur were retrospectively documented. Male victims 258 (74.35%) were more commonly involved than females 89 (25.65%) and majority of victims 141 (40.63%) were in age group of 20-30 years. Urban victims 222 (64.00%) outnumbered rural. The most frequently injured body regions were the extremities 499 (53.54%), followed by maxillofacial180(19.31%).. Out of total 802 external injuries, the most common type of injury was lacerations 307 (38.28%), abrasions 306 (38.15%)and followed by bruises 154 (19.20%). Multiple external injuries were more common on upper limb 216 (26.93%), lower limbs 210 (26.18%) and face 170 (21.20%), while crush injuries were more predominently seen in both the limbs. While laceration were common on face 120 (38.83%). Injuries to the chest 19 (2.36%), abdomen13 (1.61%), and spine 11 (1.36%) were seen in roughy equal proprotion of victims. The bones on right side 55 (55.55%) were more commonly fractured which is statistically significant. Skull injuries were mostly found on frontal 77 (47.53%), followed by parietal bone 33 (20.37%), mostly on right side. Conclusion: RTAs constitute a major public health problem in our setting. Urgent preventive measures targeting at reducing the occurrence of RTAs are necessary to reduce the morbidity and mortality resulting from these injuries.

“…Além disso, a proporção de feridos nos acidentes de moto parece ser muito maior do que naqueles devidos aos demais veículos a motor. Há autores que estimam essa proporção em cerca de 90% para os acidentes de moto e 9% para os demais veículos 7,17 . Julga-se que tal proporção de feridos nos acidentes de motocicleta decorre da vulnerabilidade dos usuários desse veículo.…”

Estudo descritivo, feito por meio de dados oficiais, dos acidentes de motocicleta com vítimas (3.390), incluindo atropelamentos, ocorridos no Município de São Paulo, Brasil, em 1982, e que tiveram como conseqüência 4.480 vítimas, das quais, 166 faleceram dentro do período de até 180 dias após o evento. O coeficiente de mortalidade foi de aproximadamente 2/100.000 habitantes e a relação coeficiente masculino/feminino foi de 6:1. Na natureza das lesões verificou-se que os diagnósticos mais freqüentes foram as fraturas de crânio (27,96%), os traumatismos internos de tórax e de abdome (14,52%), e as fraturas dos membros inferiores (14,25%). Os óbitos no momento do acidente e nas primeiras 24 h perfizeram 62,35% do total. A morte ocorreu mais precocemente entre os motociclistas e passageiros do que entre os pedestres.

In Denpasar the capital of Bali Province, motorcycle accident contributes to about 80% of total road accidents. Out of those motorcycle accidents, 32% are fatal accidents. This study investigates the influence of accident related factors on motorcycle fatal accidents in the city of Denpasar during period 2006-2008 using a logistic regression model. The study found that the fatality of collision with pedestrians and right angle accidents were respectively about 0.44 and 0.40 times lower than collision with other vehicles and accidents due to other factors. In contrast, the odds that a motorcycle accident will be fatal due to collision with heavy and light vehicles were 1.67 times more likely than with other motorcycles. Collision with pedestrians, right angle accidents, and heavy and light vehicles were respectively accounted for 31%, 29%, and 63% of motorcycle fatal accidents.
