Road traffic crashes (RTCs) are major public health challenges of world health systems, and the main leading cause of death in children and young adults aged 5 to 29 years. This study aimed to assess the epidemiology of RTCs in Ilam, Iran.
The total mortality rate due to RTCs has been increasing every year. There was a statistically significant relationship between age/sex and death or injury from RTCs in pedestrians, drivers, and passengers (p < 0.05). There was a significant relationship between the part of body trauma and RTCs in pedestrians (p < 0.001). Furthermore, a significant relationship was found between the type of vehicle and using seat belt with RTCs in drivers and passengers (p = 0.000).
道路交通碰撞(RTCs)是世界卫生系统面临的主要公共卫生挑战,也是 5 至 29 岁儿童和青年的主要死亡原因。本研究旨在评估伊朗伊拉姆的 RTC 流行病学。
RTC 导致的总死亡率逐年上升。行人和驾驶员、乘客的年龄/性别与 RTC 导致的死亡或受伤之间存在统计学显著关系(p<0.05)。行人身体创伤部位与 RTC 之间存在显著关系(p<0.001)。此外,驾驶员和乘客中车辆类型和使用安全带与 RTC 之间存在显著关系(p=0.000)。
