To investigate the quality of life (QOL) of injured motorcyclists and associated factors in a period of three months after the accident
In the present study, we were included 190 injured motorcyclists who admitted to two referral specialized hospitals (Emam Reza and Shohada) in Tabriz, between June 2018 and January 2019. All injured motorcyclists were contacted through the telephone one and 171 of them (90%) three months after their accident to complete an EQ-5D-3L questionnaire. The baseline measurements were gathered by using face to face interviews in the hospitals. The QOL score could vary between 1 and 3. The higher score showed a lower QOL.
The injured motorcyclist's QOL score was relatively better in three months after the accident (mean±Standard Deviation (SD): 1.78±0.51) in comparison with their status a month after the accident (2.15±0.65) (<0.001). The multivariable model showed that individuals with pelvis injuries (Coef: 0.29, (95% CI: 0.16, 0.42), =0.001) and knee injuries (Coef: 0.26, (95% CI: 0.10, 0.42), =0.001), experienced a higher QOL score. Also, those whose accident had happened in rainy weather experienced higher QOL score (Coef: 0.33, (95% CI: 0.12, 0.53), =0.001). The patients who were in an accident with a vehicle were experienced a better QOL than others (Coef: -0.26, (95% CI: -0.43, -0.09), =0.002).
The assessment of three-months post-accident showed that the QOL score of the motorcyclists was reduced. It is recommended that the QOL of patients should be improved in hospital discharge victims.
调查事故发生后三个月内受伤摩托车手的生活质量(QOL)及相关因素。
在本研究中,纳入了2018年6月至2019年1月期间在大不里士的两家转诊专科医院(伊玛目礼萨医院和烈士医院)就诊的190名受伤摩托车手。事故发生一个月和三个月后,通过电话联系所有受伤摩托车手,其中171人(90%)完成了EQ-5D-3L问卷。基线测量通过在医院进行面对面访谈收集。生活质量得分在1至3分之间变化。得分越高表明生活质量越低。
与事故发生一个月后的状况(2.15±0.65)相比,受伤摩托车手在事故发生三个月后的生活质量得分相对较好(均值±标准差(SD):1.78±0.51)(<0.001)。多变量模型显示,骨盆受伤的个体(系数:0.29,(95%置信区间:0.16,0.42),P=0.001)和膝盖受伤的个体(系数:0.26,(95%置信区间:0.10,0.42),P=0.001)生活质量得分较高。此外,事故发生在雨天的人生活质量得分较高(系数:0.33,(95%置信区间:0.12,0.53),P=0.001)。与车辆发生事故的患者生活质量比其他人更好(系数:-0.26,(95%置信区间:-0.43,-0.09),P=0.002)。
事故发生三个月后的评估显示,摩托车手的生活质量得分降低。建议在出院患者中改善其生活质量。
