“…Of all the registered trauma mechanisms (car/truck, bicycle, pedestrian, motorcycle, fall from ≥3 m, fall from <3 m, other), the odds for sustaining GUIs were significantly higher in patients injured in motorcycle accidents (OR: 1.70, 95% CI [1.55, 1.87]) than by any other trauma mechanism. As mentioned above, this is mainly due to the more exposed anatomy of the male reproductive organs and it is known from the literature that far more motorcyclists are men, which clearly increases the likelihood of accidents [8,17,19].…”

“…This is most likely to be attributed to the different anatomy, as the female urethra is significantly shorter and, together with the female genital, less exposed than the male urethra [4]. Additionally, men show higher risk-taking tendencies, thus suffering from high-velocity trauma such as motorcycling accidents more often than women [2,17,18]. This also explains another highly predictive factor for the presence of a GUI: the trauma mechanism.…”

“…Folglich ist auch die Krankenhausliegedauer mit zunehmendem Alter länger. Dies wird auch in der Studie von Eden et al belegt, wo Patienten, die älter als 65 Jahre waren und in Motorradunfälle verwickelt wurden, eine längere Verweildauer auf der Intensivstation sowie insgesamt im Krankenhaus aufwiesen [14] Für die Diagnostik von Lungenkontusionen, die im Kindesalter eine hohe Inzidenz aufweisen [18], gibt es Studien, die Prädiktionsfaktoren zusammenfassen, welche die Wahrscheinlichkeit von Lungenkontusionen voraussagen sollen [10].…”

“…Dieses besonders vulnerable Patientenkollektiv stellt die behandelnden Ärzte und Pflegekräfte vor besondere Herausforderungen. Eden et al konnten bereits zeigen, dass schwer verletzte Motorradfahrer im Alter über 65 Jahren eine höhere Sterblichkeit, eine verlängerte Beatmungsdauer und eine längere Krankenhausverweildauer aufwiesen [3].…”
