OBJECTIVE
To understand the epidemiology and clinical outcomes of older adult pedestrian injury in Rhode Island.
METHODS
Descriptive univariate analysis of data from Rhode Island Hospital's trauma registry on patients admitted for pedestrian-related injuries between 2017-2020.
RESULTS
The rate of pedestrian injury in older adults was 1.5 times the rate in adults age 18-49. Injured older adult pedestrians experienced a higher rate of serious adverse events during hospitalization (18.0%) than their younger counterparts (10.3%) and had almost twice the mortality rate (14.9% versus 7.6%). Across ages, pedestrian injury rates are higher in densely populated areas, and those injured disproportionately are male and have comorbid alcohol and substance use disorders.
CONCLUSIONS
The increased risk of pedestrian injury in older adults is evident and necessitates intervention. Further research is warranted on the root causes of higher pedestrian injury and mortality rates among older adults.
目的
了解罗德岛州老年行人受伤的流行病学情况及临床结局。
方法
对罗德岛医院创伤登记处2017年至2020年间因行人相关损伤入院患者的数据进行描述性单变量分析。
结果
老年行人受伤率是18至49岁成年人受伤率的1.5倍。受伤的老年行人在住院期间发生严重不良事件的比例（18.0%）高于年轻行人（10.3%），死亡率几乎是年轻行人的两倍（14.9%对7.6%）。在所有年龄段中，人口密集地区的行人受伤率更高，且受伤者中男性比例过高，同时存在酒精和物质使用障碍合并症。
结论
老年行人受伤风险增加是明显的，需要进行干预。有必要进一步研究老年行人受伤率和死亡率较高的根本原因。
