This study aimed to identify factors associated with severe injury and mortality from road traffic accidents (RTA) among motorcycle and car users in southern Thailand. The data were obtained from the Office of Disease Prevention and Control, Thailand, for years 2008-2013. Chi-squared tests were used to assess associations between determinants and outcomes and these associations were then estimated after adjusting for possible confounding with other factors using logistic regression. Severe injury and mortality contributed 11.6% and 5% to RTA of motorcycle users, and 14.3% and 7.5% for car users. Among motorcycle users, male gender, older age, and not wearing a helmet increased severe injury and mortality rates, whereas drivers had more severe injuries than passengers. Older car users had higher severe injury and mortality rates, whereas not fastening seat belts had higher mortality. Safety device use should be made mandatory for both drivers and passengers. Male motorcycle users and the elderly should be focused on.
本研究旨在确定与泰国南部摩托车和汽车使用者道路交通伤害（RTA）严重伤害和死亡相关的因素。数据来自泰国疾病预防控制办公室，时间为 2008-2013 年。卡方检验用于评估决定因素与结局之间的关联，然后使用逻辑回归在可能与其他因素混淆的情况下对这些关联进行调整。严重伤害和死亡分别占摩托车使用者 RTA 的 11.6%和 5%，汽车使用者的 14.3%和 7.5%。在摩托车使用者中，男性、年龄较大和不戴头盔会增加严重伤害和死亡率，而驾驶员的伤势比乘客更严重。较年长的汽车使用者有更高的严重伤害和死亡率，而不系安全带则有更高的死亡率。应强制要求驾驶员和乘客使用安全装置。应关注男性摩托车使用者和老年人。
