Fatigue while driving is one of the risk factors of road crashes. It's still poorly considered in interventions because of insufficient literature. In addition, the literature on this issue doesn't focus on two-wheelers, the most frequent users in the Benin context. The study examined the prevalence of fatigue while driving among two-wheeled vehicle drivers and the related factors. It's a secondary baseline data analysis from a cohort of road crash victims recruited from five hospitals in Benin. Data were collected from July 2019 to January 2020. Patients who identified themselves as drivers during the accident were included. Data on individual characteristics, including fatigue status in the moments preceding the collision, and other risk factors and environmental settings, were extracted. We used multivariate logistic regression. Among the respondents, 12.20% (95% CI=10.20-14.53) reported fatigue in the moments preceding the collision. The odds of fatigue while driving were significantly higher in male drivers (aOR=3.60; 95% CI=1.08-11.98), during professional trips (aOR=2.09; 95% CI=1.30-3.37), in non-helmet wearers (aOR=1.85; 95% CI=1.09-3.13), in users of stimulants (aOR=3.13; 95% CI=1.50-6.54), in those with a history of chronic diseases (aOR=1.95; 95% CI=1.16-3.27), at dusk (aOR=4.22; 95% CI=2.22-8.02), at night (aOR=6.90; 95% CI=3.95-12.05), and on Inter-State National Roads (aOR=2.01; 95% CI=1.18-3.43). Fatigue is a risk factor for road crashes in Benin, associated with other risk factors that highlight particularly vulnerable profiles and groups. Integrating prevention policies based on these cumulative risk factors will result in efficiency improvements.
驾驶时疲劳是道路交通事故的风险因素之一。由于相关文献不足,在干预措施中对此仍未给予充分考虑。此外,关于这个问题的文献并未聚焦于两轮车,而两轮车是贝宁最常见的交通工具。该研究调查了两轮车驾驶员驾驶时疲劳的患病率及相关因素。这是一项对从贝宁五家医院招募的道路交通事故受害者队列进行的二次基线数据分析。数据收集时间为2019年7月至2020年1月。纳入在事故发生时自称是驾驶员的患者。提取了包括碰撞前时刻的疲劳状态、其他风险因素和环境状况等个人特征数据。我们使用了多因素逻辑回归分析。在受访者中,12.20%(95%置信区间=10.20 - 14.53)报告在碰撞前时刻感到疲劳。男性驾驶员(调整后比值比=3.60;95%置信区间=1.08 - 11.98)、在进行职业出行时(调整后比值比=2.09;95%置信区间=1.30 - 3.37)、未佩戴头盔者(调整后比值比=1.85;95%置信区间=1.09 - 3.13)、使用兴奋剂者(调整后比值比=3.13;95%置信区间=1.50 - 6.54)、有慢性疾病史者(调整后比值比=1.95;95%置信区间=1.16 - 3.27)、在黄昏时(调整后比值比=4.22;95%置信区间=2.22 - 8.02)、在夜间(调整后比值比=6.90;95%置信区间=3.95 - 12.05)以及在国道上(调整后比值比=2.01;95%置信区间=1.18 - 3.43)驾驶时疲劳的几率显著更高。在贝宁,疲劳是道路交通事故的一个风险因素,与其他突出特别易受影响的特征和群体的风险因素相关。基于这些累积风险因素整合预防政策将提高效率。
