Introduction: Motorcycle accidents are among the deadliest road traffic accidents, and the prevention of road traffic injury is a daunting challenge in numerous countries, including Iran. The present study aimed to investigate the motorcycle accidents that occurred in Gonabad, Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted using all standard pre-hospital emergency reporting forms related to motorcycle accidents registered in a software-based pre-hospital information management system (called ASAYAR in Persian) between March 2018 and 2019. The motorcycle accidents were assessed in terms of urban and rural settings, time and mission results of accidents, and demographic characteristics of injured people. Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, frequency, and frequency percentage) were used for data analysis. Results: A total of 1,555 traffic accidents were recorded in the ASAYAR system, out of which 746(48%) accidents were related to motorcycle accidents, and out of 746 cases in the county, 431 cases had occurred in Gonabad. The majority of motorcycle accidents (49%) took place in the age group of 15-25 years. The time analysis of accidents demonstrated that the majority of accidents had happened in the spring with 34% (n=147) and in June with 11.86% (n=51). Moreover, 77% of the injured were motorcycle riders, and 82% of all the injured have been taken to hospital. Conclusion: As evidenced by the obtained results, nearly half of all road accidents are caused by motorcycles. Given that most of the injured in motorcycle accidents are adolescents and young people, it is necessary to take practical measures to control and manage this major health threat.

Background and Objectives: Pre-hospital care report is a valid medical document containing demographic information, vital signs, times related to ambulance location, evaluations, and performed medical procedures. With the advancement of technology and communication, Asayar smart program has replaced the paper registration method. Therefore, the current study aimed to compare the time indicators and outcome of pre-hospital emergency operations in two methods of electronic registration with the Asayar program and paper registration.Methods: This descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in Isfahan in 2019. A number of 700 missions registered by paper in 2017 and 230 missions recorded by Asayar program methods in 2018 were reviewed. Samples were selected by a stratified method with a proportional allocation approach. In order to collect data, researcher-made tools were designed, and content validity was examined. Data analysis was performed by propensity score matching, descriptive statistics, as well as Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon tests. Results:The results demonstrated that incomplete data were obtained at 2.68% and 7.19% in the Asayar method and the paper method, respectively. The rates of hospital admission in the Asayar and paper methods were reported as 0.9% and 4.9%, respectively. Ambulance arrival time at the patient's bedside, in the Asayar and paper methods were calculated at 8 min and 43 sec and 11 min and 30 sec, respectively. Moreover, the time of ambulance discharge from the hospital in the Asayar and paper methods were reported as 9 min and 20 sec and 12 min and 37 sec. Conclusion:As evidenced by the obtained results, documentation by the Asayar method reduced the lost data and increased patient admission in hospitals. Furthermore, it reduced the time of ambulance arrival at the patient's bedside and the time of ambulance release.
