Epidemiology and Patterns of Transport-Related Fatalities in Austria 1980–2012

Abstract: Despite the decreasing trend observed, transport-related fatalities remain a serious public health issue in Austria. An increase in the mortality of motor vehicle drivers warrants more preventive action in this group. Further research is needed on other outcomes of transport accidents such as long-term disabilities to elucidate the true public health burden of transport accidents.

“…In a similar study in Australia, the opposite was found, with student involvement in crashes being rare (Mitchell, Bambach, Foster, & Curtis, 2015 Our results indicate that concussion was more common among pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists than vehicle occupants.

Nevertheless, the proportion of multiple injuries was higher among vehicle occupants, bicyclists, and motorcyclists than pedestrians.…”
