“…16 These findings provide in-depth insights into the nature of causation and the factors affecting the severity of driver's injury in rollover accident. 5,23 Therefore, rollovers are mostly associated with driverrelated factors such as failure to control the vehicle, lack of attention to the front, speeding, and driving in the opposite direction. In previous studies, driver-related factors such as the failure of the driver to turn properly in the curves, 23 the driver's distraction, 25 fatigue and drowsiness, 26 and alcohol and drug use 23 have been repeatedly emphasized.…”

“…Most of these mortalities and morbidities occur as a result of rollover and collision of vehicles with fixed roadside objects. 4,5 A rollover or overturning is a type of traffic accident in which the vehicle turns toward the roof or sideways. Rollover crashes are mainly classified into two types; off-road overturning and road surface overturning, which account for 95% and 5% of rollover crashes, respectively.…”

IntroductionThere is little information about this type of traffic accident in northern Iran.AimThis study aimed to determine the status of rollover crashes and the factors relating them.Material and methodsThis was a retrospective analytical study. The data of this study were obtained from the reports of Traffic Police and the Department of Forensic Medicine. The data of this study included related data on vehicle damages, injuries, and fatalities of 5999 rollover crashes of motor and non-motor vehicles. All analyses were performed with Excel and SPSS v. 21 software.Results and discussionThe probability of mortality due to rollover crashes decreases on slippery (P < 0.001) with age (P < 0.001) and at night (P < 0.001) and increases on road curves (P = 0.005) . The probability of injuries reduced with increase with age (P < 0.000) and in men (P < 0.027), on slippery roads (P < 0.04), heavy vehicle (P < 0.001), car (P < 0.009), pickup trucks (P = 0.011), but increased on the road curves (P < 0.001).ConclusionsCountermeasures include training drivers to increase their ability to control the vehicle and pay attention to the front and avoid driving in the opposite direction at the speed limit. Moreover, installing lower speed limits and installing speed cameras in high-risk areas reduce crashes. Corrective changes to the road and reduce road curve sharpness are as effective as trying to change drivers' behavior.

This study examines the impact of the presence of resident specialists on the emergency department performance index (EDPI) at hospitals of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences (MUMS). Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional study, changes in EDPI were investigated over a period of June 2013 to June 2014 (before the presence of resident specialists) and June 2014 to June 2015 (after the presence of resident specialists). All hospitals in MUMS which implemented the presence of resident specialists were selected by the census method. Hospital General Information Form was used to collect data. Information required were collected and recorded after obtaining the permission from the health department. After collection, data were analyzed by SPSS 19. Results: The percentage of disposed patients within 6 hours before the presence of resident specialists was 80.96% and after the presence of resident specialists was 89.07%. The percentage of leaving the ED in 12 hours before the presence of resident specialists was 86.21% and after the presence of resident specialists was 88.76%. Conclusion:According to the results, it can be concluded that the EDPI in hospitals of MUMS after the presence of resident specialists has shown a significant difference, and improved, except for those left ED in 12 hours.
