“…Additionally, the 55-year age group had higher mortality (7.6%) compared to other age groups. Moreover, most of the hospitalized cases were the elderly pedestrians (> 55 years) , which is consistent with the results of other studies [21][22][23][24][25]. The findings of the present study showed that age, ISS, and injured body region were associated with mortality in both crude and adjusted analyses.…”

Objective: To epidemiologically assess the accidents and incidents in the injured pedestrians referred to Shahid Rajaee Hospital, Shiraz in order to provide basic preventive strategies and reduce injuries and fatalities caused by traffic accidents in pedestrians. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 5840 injured pedestrians referred to Shahid Rajaee Hospital, Shiraz from 2009 to 2014. The baseline characteristic including the demographic and clinical information, the mechanism of injury, injury severity score (ISS) and outcome determinants. We also recorded the outcome measures and the mortality. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the factors related to mortality rate and Length of Stay (LOS) in hospital. Results: In our study, the history of 5840 injured pedestrians was analyzed. The mean age of the patients was 41.3219.21± years. Multivariate logistic regression indicated that mortality increased with age. Moreover, the odds of mortality was more in patients with Injury Severity Score (ISS) between 16 and 24 [OR: 12.94, 95% CI (3.78-32.66), p=0.001] and injuries in the head and neck [OR: 7.92, 95% CI (4.18-14.99), p=0.020]. LOS in hospital was also higher in patients with ISS>25 [OR: 16.65, p=0.001]. Conclusion: Pedestrians have always been one of the most vulnerable road users. Our study indicated that the adverse consequences and mortalities in pedestrians increased with age. Hence, approaches are required to improve primary prevention programs and reduce deaths and injuries due to this major public health problem.

“…Though children are generally smaller than adults, the injury rate of pelvic fracture in vehicle-pedestrian crashes is similar for adults and children and ranges from 5% to 19% (Arregui-Dalmases et al 2010;Derlet et al 1989;Kong et al 1996;O'Malley et al 1985;Siram et al 2011). This is presumably related to the distensibility of the pediatric pelvis without fracture when subjected to impact loading (Ouyang et al 2003).…”

“…For example, hospital discharge data from eight European countries showed that fractures (51.1%) and internal injuries (21.3%) are the most common injuries among pedestrians in the traffic collisions (Arregui-Dalmases, Lopez-Valdes, & Segui-Gomez, 2010). In another study, Pan et al (2014) found that orthopedic fractures were the most common injuries (29.3%) resulted from the road traffic collisions.…”

Introduction: Several studies have been carried out in the field of traffic collisions in Iran. However, few studies have used the victims' medical records as a source of information. This study aimed to use the data collected from the medical records and a geographic information system to show the epidemiology of urban traffic collisions to be used in injury prevention strategies.Methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study which was completed in 2013. The sample consisted of 1240 medical records of the people injured in the urban traffic collisions in the capital city of Iran between October 2010 and April 2011. Data were analyzed by using SPSS 18.0 and ARC GIS 10.0.Results: According to the results, motorcyclists were the main group of victims, and most collisions occurred in the afternoon between 12:00 and 18:00 pm. Moreover, the findings showed that the frequency of collisions was higher in District five (16.7%), District six (13.7%), and District 12 (8.3%) of the city. Conclusion:In most traffic collisions, motorcyclists were involved and victims mainly suffered from injuries in the lower limbs. Therefore, training in the use of safety equipment, setting collision prevention strategies, and controlling the risky behavior of motorcyclists may help to reduce the number of collisions.
