BACKGROUND
This study investigates the impact of standing electric scooter-related injuries within an entire integrated hospital system.
METHODS
We performed a retrospective review of patients involved in standing electric scooter incidents presenting throughout an urban hospital network over a 10 month period. Rates of Google searches of scooter-related terms performed locally were used as a surrogate for ride frequency. Injury, mechanism, and cost data were analyzed.
RESULTS
Data on 248 patients were reviewed. Twenty-three (9%) were under 18 years old. Loss of balance was the most common cause of injury accounting for nearly half, while tripping over a scooter 14 (6%) affected the elderly disproportionately. Eight (3%) riders wore helmets. All TBI and closed head injuries occurred in unhelmeted patients. Most incidents occurred in the street, only one in a bicycle lane. Facilities costs were greater for patients under the influence of alcohol and marijuana.
CONCLUSION
Policies related to the use of mandated safety equipment, dedicated bicycle lanes, and the proper storage of empty vehicles should be further investigated.
背景
本研究调查了在整个综合医院系统中与站立式电动滑板车相关的伤害的影响。
方法
我们对在 10 个月期间在城市医院网络中出现的与站立式电动滑板车事故有关的患者进行了回顾性研究。对当地进行的与滑板车相关的搜索次数进行了谷歌搜索，以此作为骑行频率的替代指标。对伤害、机制和成本数据进行了分析。
结果
共回顾了 248 名患者的数据。23 名（9%）年龄在 18 岁以下。失去平衡是造成伤害的最常见原因，约占一半，而 14 名（6%）因被滑板车绊倒而受伤的老年人比例过高。8 名（3%）骑车者戴了头盔。所有 TBI 和闭合性头部损伤都发生在未戴头盔的患者中。大多数事故发生在街道上，只有一起发生在自行车道上。受酒精和大麻影响的患者的设施费用更高。
结论
应进一步研究与强制使用安全设备、专用自行车道以及正确存放空车有关的政策。
