The penalty point system was introduced in Italy in June 2003. The aim of this study was to evaluate the health effects of this legislation in the Lazio region.
Poisson models were used to compare emergency department visits, hospitalizations and death between the pre-law and post-law periods (July 2001-June 2003; July 2003-June 2004).
The emergency department visit rate ratio (RR) of the two periods was 0.87 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.86 to 0.88); the corresponding hospital admission RR was 0.87 (95% CI 0.84 to 0.9). The death RR was 0.93 (95% CI 0.82 to 1.05).
After the legislation was introduced, there were fewer visits to the emergency department, hospitalizations and death from road traffic injuries. However, the effect was lower than expected, and it decreased over time.
2003年6月意大利引入了扣分制度。本研究旨在评估该立法对拉齐奥地区健康状况的影响。
采用泊松模型比较法律实施前和实施后(2001年7月至2003年6月;2003年7月至2004年6月)的急诊科就诊、住院和死亡情况。
两个时期的急诊科就诊率比(RR)为0.87(95%置信区间(CI)0.86至0.88);相应的住院RR为0.87(95%CI 0.84至0.9)。死亡RR为0.93(95%CI 0.82至1.05)。
立法实施后,因道路交通伤害导致的急诊科就诊、住院和死亡人数减少。然而,效果低于预期,且随时间推移而下降。
