“…Traffic accidents are predicted to be the fourth leading cause of global disease burden in 2030 ( 5 ). Deaths due to traffic accidents affect not only the victims but also the family and the wider community, and the physical, psychological and economic consequences, reduce the quality of life ( 6 ). In Iran, traffic accidents are the second leading cause of death and YLL after cardiovascular disease.…”

Background: Traffic accidents are one of the most critical health problems and the ninth leading cause of death globally. We aimed to determine the Mortality rate and the number of Years of Life Lost (YLL) due to road traffic accidents. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, mortality rate and YLL due to road traffic accidents were examined in Fars province, central Iran during the years 2004-2019. Mortality statistics were collected through death registration of ministry of health and medical education for Fars Province. Age Standardized mortality Rate (ASR) was calculated and join point regression analysis carried out to examine the trend of YLL rate. Data were analyzed using Excel spreadsheet version 2016 and Join point Regression Program 4.9.0.0. Results: During the 16-year study period, 25,858 deaths due to road traffic accidents occurred in the province. 79.2% (20483 cases) were in men, and 33.7% (8703 cases) were aged 15-29 years. Total YLL during the 16-year study period were 458,975 (14.6 per 1000 people) in men, 117,999 (3.8 per 1000 people) in women. According to the join point regression, the 16- year trend of YLL rate due to premature mortality was decreasing: AAPC was -4.9% (95% CI: -8.8 to -0.9; P=0.018) for male, and -3.5% (95% CI: -6.3 to-0.5; P=0.011) for female. Conclusion: Considering that the number of deaths, mortality rate and YLL has decreased in Fars province during the 16 years under study. Therefore, because the mortality rate due to road traffic accidents in Iran is higher than the global average, the need for training programs for drivers, compliance with standards and retrofitting of vehicles, road safety, driving supervision and the use of seat belts are essential.

“…The causes of road crashes can be attributed to human, vehicular, and environmental factors. Besides the environmental factors, geographical conditions and climate change can increase the number of RTCs [7]. Human, vehicular and environmental factors play roles before, during and after a crash event, therefore, RTCs have to be studied in terms of an epidemiological model of agent (person), host (vehicle) and environmental factors (infrastructure and climatic conditions), and analyzed in relation to time, place and person distribution [1] .…”

Background and objective: Road traffic accidents (RTA) represent a major important public health problem in our country and play a major role in lifelong disabilities as well as high mortality. In Sudan, the rate of road traffic accidents has recently increased for reasons related to excessive speed, and the collapse of most national roads. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study of all vehicles drivers. It was carried out in Jun 2017 to January 2018, to study of risk factors associated with road traffic accidents. Data were entered and analyzed using the Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) version (16.0) and Microsoft Excel (2010) software. Chi-square (χ2) was used to determine whether there is a significant association between different variables. Values were considered to be statistically significant when the p-value obtained was less than (0.05) and assessed strength of correlation using Odd Raito (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: The study included (296) vehicles drivers, all drivers who were interviewed were male. Majority (87.8%) of them has a driving license and (51%) use a seat belt while driving. Use earphones (MP3) while driving [p= 0.001, OR 22.241; 95% CI (21.896, 22.606)], use cell phone while driving [p= 0.001, OR 21.430; 95% CI (21.182, 21.726)], doping consumption [p= 0.001, OR 21.488; 95% CI (21.194, 21.791)], alcohol drinking [p= 0.001, OR 20.737; 95% CI (20.501, 20.971)], use drugs [p= 0.001, OR 22.241; 95% CI (21.877, 22.631)], suffering from low vision [p= 0.001, OR 20.794.665; 95% CI (20.553, 21.033)] and condition of the brakes[p= 0.052, OR 20.754; 95% CI (20.515, 20.977)] were significantly associated with RTAs. Conclusion: There is need for accelerate the of laws against stimulants consumption and excessive speed among vehicles drivers and motorcyclists during driving by local authorities in order to reduce RTAs.
