To provide national estimates of non-fatal cyclist injuries treated in US hospital emergency departments (EDs) resulting from an encounter with a motor vehicle (MV) on the road.
Non-fatal injury data for 2001-4 from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System All Injury Program were analyzed.
An estimated 62,267 persons (21.5 per 100,000 population; 95% CI 14.3 to 28.7) were treated annually in US hospital EDs for unintentional non-fatal cyclist injuries involving an MV on the road. Among these cases, children aged 10-14 years (65.8 per 100,000) and males (35.3 per 100,000) had the highest injury rates. Many injuries involved the extremities (41.9%). The head was the primary body part affected for 38.6% of hospitalized/transferred patients, of which about 84.7% had a principal diagnosis of a concussion or internal head injury.
Effective road environmental interventions (eg, bicycle-friendly roadway design, intersections and crossings) along with efforts to promote safe personal behavior (eg, helmet use and following rules of the road) are needed to help reduce injuries among cyclists while sharing the road.
提供美国医院急诊科治疗的因在路上与机动车(MV)相撞导致的非致命性自行车骑行者受伤情况的全国估计数据。
分析了2001 - 2004年国家电子伤害监测系统全伤害项目中的非致命伤害数据。
美国医院急诊科每年估计有62267人(每10万人中有21.5人;95%可信区间为14.3至28.7)因在路上涉及机动车的非故意非致命性自行车骑行者受伤而接受治疗。在这些病例中,10 - 14岁儿童(每10万人中有65.8人)和男性(每10万人中有35.3人)的受伤率最高。许多损伤涉及四肢(41.9%)。对于38.6%的住院/转诊患者,头部是主要受影响的身体部位,其中约84.7%的主要诊断为脑震荡或头部内伤。
需要有效的道路环境干预措施(例如,有利于自行车出行的道路设计、十字路口和人行横道)以及促进安全个人行为的努力(例如,佩戴头盔和遵守道路规则),以帮助减少自行车骑行者在与机动车共用道路时的受伤情况。
