BACKGROUND
Significant underreporting of road traffic injuries by the police has been documented, even in developed countries. The objective of this study was to clarify the magnitude of underreporting of police data in Japan.
METHODS
Police reports were compared with those of the fire department and the Marine and Fire Insurance Association of Japan.
RESULTS
The results reveal significant underreporting by police of child vehicle occupant injuries. The true incidence of these injuries in preschoolers was twice as high as that provided by official police reports.
CONCLUSION
Police reports would underestimate the magnitude of vehicle occupant injuries in children and distort any evaluations of preventive initiatives. Improving the police report system, and establishing a more comprehensive trauma registry, that would include data from hospitals and insurance companies should be implemented.
背景
即使在发达国家，警方对道路交通伤害的漏报情况也很严重。本研究的目的是明确日本警方数据的漏报程度。
方法
将警方报告与消防部门以及日本海上火灾保险协会的报告进行比较。
结果
结果显示警方对儿童乘车人员受伤情况存在严重漏报。这些伤害在学龄前儿童中的实际发生率是警方官方报告所提供数据的两倍。
结论
警方报告可能会低估儿童乘车人员受伤的程度，并扭曲对预防措施的任何评估。应改进警方报告系统，并建立一个更全面的创伤登记系统，该系统应包括来自医院和保险公司的数据。
