“…For one, it is the only one that we are aware of that specifically reports all-terrain, RTI-related HI in our region of the world and our findings demonstrate that injuries resulting from road crashes in this part of the world are toward the more severe end of the trauma spectrum. This fact is fully in keeping with the literature evidence that traffic-related fatalities are most prevalent in the developing countries in general, and the African region in particular ( 1 , 7 – 9 , 21 ). Hence, apart from the usual severe brain injury necessitating their neurosurgical referral in this study subjects, there was usually evidence of significant systemic injuries in the other body parts, especially the limbs and the facial regions.…”

“…Although mean values of passenger helmet use were quite high, it did not mean that they always fasten the chin strap (even the mean values for "fasten the chin strip" for the rider was only 3.02). Most of the motorcycle riders were not wearing helmet at the time of injury [34]. The mean values of control error constructs were between 3.03 (not skid on a wet road or manhole cover) and 3.61 (not carry large carriage).…”

“…In the USA, 2.8 million individuals seek medical attention for TBI each year with an estimated annual cost of over US$76 billion 5 6. Incidence of TBI is also on the rise in low-income and middle-income countries, mainly due to the increased use of motor vehicles 7–9. While sport and military-related TBI have received considerable media attention in the last decade, the highest combined incidence of TBI-related emergency department visits, hospitalisations and deaths occurs in civilians 10…”
