In modern societies, motorcycle accidents have become a great problem for health systems worldwide. In Spain, the size and the power of the engine of 2-wheel vehicles determine the type of driving license and the age at which these vehicles can be used (mopeds and motorcycles, which at the same time can have a small or large engine capacity). The objective of the present study was to analyze and characterize low- and high-power motorcycle accidents in Spain, between 2014 and 2020, both included and compared these categories with each other.
Retrospective, descriptive, and observational study of motorcycle and moped accidents in Spain between 2014 and 2020, both included.
The mortality of motorcycle accident riders in Spain is associated with males aged between 30 and 40 years old, with a high-power motorcycle, and an A or A1 driver's license, who is 6.7 times more likely to die in crossings and highways than a moped, while wearing a helmet, and if not, this increases to 4.89 times. During the COVID-19 pandemic, an increase in death at 24 h after a high-power motorcycle accident was observed, as compared with a large reduction in the total medical assistance provided in 2019-2020.
High-power motorcycles had higher scores in mortality and morbity rates than low-power ones, with a significant increase in mortality during the pandemic, even though number of accidents and medical assistance provided were drastically reduced.
在现代社会，摩托车事故已成为全球卫生系统面临的重大问题。在西班牙，两轮车辆的发动机尺寸和功率决定了驾驶执照类型以及使用这些车辆的年龄（轻便摩托车和摩托车，它们同时可能具有小或大的发动机排量）。本研究的目的是分析和描述2014年至2020年西班牙低功率和高功率摩托车事故的情况，并对这两类事故进行相互比较。
对2014年至2020年西班牙摩托车和轻便摩托车事故进行回顾性、描述性和观察性研究。
西班牙摩托车事故骑手的死亡率与年龄在30至40岁之间、驾驶高功率摩托车且持有A或A1驾照的男性有关，这类骑手在十字路口和高速公路上死亡的可能性是轻便摩托车骑手的6.7倍，若佩戴头盔则死亡可能性为4.89倍。在新冠疫情期间，与2019 - 2020年提供的医疗救助大幅减少相比，观察到高功率摩托车事故后24小时内死亡人数有所增加。
高功率摩托车的死亡率和发病率得分高于低功率摩托车，尽管事故数量和提供的医疗救助大幅减少，但在疫情期间死亡率仍显著上升。
