Impact of compulsory helmet legislation on mortality rate and types of head and facial injuries in Jabalpur
2017, Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Medicine, and PathologyCitation Excerpt :Severe injuries to the head and/or neck are the principal causes of death or disability among motorcyclists and cyclists, and such effects are the direct result of the following one of two proposed mechanisms of such injury: through direct contact and through acceleration–deceleration, causing a minor head injury such as concussion (the mildest form) to fatal injury states. Reports from Asia, South Pacific, Africa, Europe, Italy and North America have shown the immense impact of motorcycle crashes on neurotrauma and associated disability [11–17]. Head injuries also result in much higher medical costs than any other type of injury, and such injuries, consequently, exert a significant toll on the country's health care support system in particular, and the economy in general, in terms of expenditure [18].
Motorcycle-related spinal injury: Crash characteristics
2012, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :This is because 55% of the registered vehicles on Malaysian roads are motorcycles (Sharifah Allyana et al., 2010) and the spinal injury pattern also could be different as motorcyclists are likely to be injured more severely compared to car occupants (Pang et al., 2000). Although spinal injuries sustained during motorcycle crashes are relatively low (ranging from 1% to 11% of all injuries) compared to lower extremity or head injuries (Roohi et al., 2006; Ankarath et al., 2002; Robertson et al., 2002; Begg et al., 1994; Braddock et al., 1992; Drysdale et al., 1975), injuries to the spine and spinal cord, however, often lead to death, or severe impairment and disability. The long term impairment makes social burden immense as spinal injury may generate a massive cost in hospital care, rehabilitation, in addition to personal or family grief and suffering.
Variations in car crash-related hospitalization costs amongst young adults in New South Wales, Australia
2012, InjuryCitation Excerpt :It is likely that other occupants were in fact misclassified drivers or passengers. As these uncertainties in vehicle occupant type may cause underestimation of crash incidence in particular road users,19 our findings suggest that there is a need to improve the coding work to specify the role of occupants in a crash in the health care system in Australia. Linkage to police crash records may also help ascertain the role of vehicle occupant in order to minimize the potential of misclassification bias but improved coding of hospital data will substantially improve our understanding of the context of road crashes, given many crashes are not reported to police.
The effect of crash experience on changes in risk taking among urban and rural young people
2004, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :This study only focused on experience related to motorcycle crashes because motorcycles comprise 73% of the registered motor vehicles (MCT, 1993) and are the dominant mode of transportation among young people in Taiwan. Furthermore, immense public health implications from this issue are expected since motorcycle injuries are one of the most serious problems among young persons in many countries (Liberatti et al., 2001; Pang et al., 2000; Begg et al., 1994; Swaddiwudhipong et al., 1994; Ding et al., 1993; Mohan and Bawa, 1985). The study was conducted using students from three junior colleges in Taipei and Hualien.
A longitudinal study of risk factors for motorcycle crashes among junior college students in Taiwan
2003, Accident Analysis and PreventionCitation Excerpt :Risk factors for motorcycle injuries, particularly for severe injuries, have been widely studied (Baker and Fisher, 1977; Begg et al., 1994; Braddock et al., 1992; Kraus et al., 1975b; Krishnan and Smith, 1994).
