Pedestrian-motor vehicle collisions that involved children aged 0 to 14 years in Perth, Western Australia were examined for the period 1980-1989 in order to identify factors which contribute to the severity of injury. Nearly half (49%) of the 1,282 children injured during this period required hospitalization, with a further 46% of the children requiring some form of medical treatment. Multivariate analysis indicated that children aged 0 to four years had a higher risk of sustaining a severe injury compared with children aged five to nine and ten to 14 years, with relative risks of 1.6 and 1.7 respectively. A greater proportion of more severe injuries occurred after 3 pm. Injuries tended to be more severe when the collision occurred on a highway or main road, and when the child was actually on the road at the point of impact. Further research on more comprehensive datasets, which consider the child's behavior at the time of injury as well as driver attributes, will provide greater insight into factors contributing to the severity of injury.
为了确定导致儿童受伤严重程度的因素，对1980年至1989年期间发生在澳大利亚西部珀斯、涉及0至14岁儿童的行人与机动车碰撞事故进行了调查。在此期间受伤的1282名儿童中，近一半（49%）需要住院治疗，另有46%的儿童需要某种形式的医疗救治。多变量分析表明，与5至9岁以及10至14岁的儿童相比，0至4岁的儿童遭受重伤的风险更高，相对风险分别为1.6和1.7。下午3点之后发生的重伤比例更高。当碰撞发生在高速公路或主干道上，以及儿童在碰撞点实际身处道路上时，受伤往往更严重。对更全面数据集的进一步研究，即考虑儿童受伤时的行为以及驾驶员属性，将更深入地洞察导致受伤严重程度的因素。
