We evaluated the protective effectiveness of speed humps in reducing child pedestrian injuries in residential neighborhoods.
We conducted a matched case-control study over a 5-year period among children seen in a pediatric emergency department after being struck by an automobile.
A multivariate conditional logistic regression analysis showed that speed humps were associated with lower odds of children being injured within their neighborhood (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 0.47) and being struck in front of their home (adjusted OR = 0.40). Ethnicity (but not socioeconomic status) was independently associated with child pedestrian injuries and was adjusted for in the regression model.
Our findings suggest that speed humps make children's living environments safer.
我们评估了减速带在减少居民区儿童行人受伤方面的保护效果。
我们在5年时间里对在儿科急诊科就诊的被汽车撞到的儿童进行了一项匹配病例对照研究。
多变量条件逻辑回归分析显示,减速带与儿童在其居住区内受伤的较低几率(调整后的优势比[OR]=0.47)以及在家门口被撞的较低几率(调整后的OR=0.40)相关。种族(而非社会经济地位)与儿童行人受伤独立相关,并在回归模型中进行了调整。
我们的研究结果表明,减速带使儿童的生活环境更安全。
