There is little published data on cycling injuries in Ireland and the present study aims to describe the cycling related injuries presenting to the emergency department (ED), of a tertiary urban university hospital. This is a retrospective review of cycling-related injuries presenting to the ED of St. Vincent's University Hospital (SVUH) from 1st of January to 31st of December 2014. There were 534 cycling related injuries presenting to the ED during the study period. Just over 71% of the patients were male, and 14.8% of patients presented following a collision with a motor vehicle. Forty patients required admission to hospital following their injury with 6 of these patients spending time in the intensive care unit. Cycling is now a very popular means of transport and exercise activity in Ireland and using hospital based data, it is possible that EDs may provide a vector for guiding injury prevention strategies in the future.
爱尔兰关于自行车骑行受伤的公开数据较少，本研究旨在描述一家城市三级大学医院急诊科接诊的与自行车骑行相关的损伤情况。这是一项对2014年1月1日至12月31日期间圣文森特大学医院急诊科接诊的与自行车骑行相关损伤的回顾性研究。研究期间，急诊科共接诊534例与自行车骑行相关的损伤病例。患者中男性略多于71%，14.8%的患者是在与机动车碰撞后前来就诊的。40名患者受伤后需要住院治疗，其中6名患者在重症监护室接受治疗。在爱尔兰，自行车骑行如今是一种非常流行的交通方式和体育活动，利用基于医院的数据，急诊科未来有可能为指导 injury prevention strategies 提供一个途径。 （注：injury prevention strategies 此处原文可能有误，推测可能是“injury prevention strategies”，意为“伤害预防策略” ）
