To develop an epidemiological profile and present the burden of urban road-traffic injuries (RTI) in children and adolescents in urban Sub-Saharan Africa.
A systematic review of published and gray literature of children and adolescents < or =19 years old involved in RTI in urban regions in Sub-Saharan Africa from January 1980-December 2003.
The mean annual incidence for urban road-traffic injuries was 109.8 per 100,000 children, and males were twice as involved as their female counterparts. Children between 10 to 14 years constitute the most frequent group involved in road crashes (36%) while pedestrians represent an average of 68% of all childhood RTI cases. Twenty Healthy Life Years per 1,000 children and adolescents are being lost annually in the region from RTI.
There is an urgent need to develop a regional health research agenda to generate an accurate estimate of the burden of road-traffic injuries on children. This is a new challenge for child health and there is a need to raise awareness among policy makers to promote appropriate interventions.
制定一份流行病学概况，并呈现撒哈拉以南非洲城市地区儿童和青少年的城市道路交通伤害（RTI）负担。
对1980年1月至2003年12月期间撒哈拉以南非洲城市地区19岁及以下儿童和青少年道路交通伤害的已发表文献和灰色文献进行系统综述。
城市道路交通伤害的年平均发病率为每10万名儿童109.8例，男性的发病率是女性的两倍。10至14岁的儿童是道路交通事故中最常涉及的群体（36%），而行人平均占所有儿童道路交通伤害病例的68%。该地区每年因道路交通伤害导致每1000名儿童和青少年损失20个健康生命年。
迫切需要制定一项区域卫生研究议程，以准确估计道路交通伤害对儿童的负担。这对儿童健康来说是一项新挑战，需要提高政策制定者的认识，以促进采取适当的干预措施。
