Abstract

The objective of the study was to examine the effect of seat-belt legislation on hospital admissions with road traffic injuries and was designed as a retrospective descriptive study. All motor vehicle crashes recorded during the period 2001 - 2004 were extracted from the Emergency Medical Service Department. Details of the crashes, injuries and safety devices used were studied. The present study revealed that safety belt usage rates have increased from 8% in 2001 to 67% in 2004 among patients admitted to hospital with injury after road traffic crashes. The admission rate of patients with road traffic injuries per 100 000 population reduced by 17.7%. The enforcement of the seat-belt legislation played a vital role in reduction of hospital admissions due to road traffic crashes.

摘要

该研究的目的是检验安全带立法对道路交通伤住院人数的影响，并设计为一项回顾性描述性研究。2001年至2004年期间记录的所有机动车碰撞事故均从紧急医疗服务部门提取。对碰撞事故、损伤及所使用安全装置的细节进行了研究。本研究显示，在因道路交通碰撞事故受伤而住院的患者中，安全带使用率从2001年的8%增至2004年的67%。每10万人口中道路交通伤患者的住院率降低了17.7%。安全带立法的实施在减少因道路交通碰撞事故导致的住院人数方面发挥了至关重要的作用。
