BACKGROUND
Micromobility devices like e-scooters have become popular for short trips. Providence, Rhode Island, introduced these devices in 2018. We examine non-fatal injury trends and ED care costs for micromobility-related injuries in Rhode Island (RI) from 2016 to 2021.
METHODS
Data were obtained from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) and the RI State ED Databases (SEDD). Using ICD-10 codes, we identified micromobility-related injuries. The analysis spanned two waves: pre-implementation (2016-2018) and post- implementation (2019-2021). Poisson regression was performed on age-adjusted rates of micromobility injuries to evaluate change over time.
RESULTS
From 2016 to 2021, micromobility-related ED visits rose 600%. Bicycle injuries decreased by 20%, while pedestrian and motor vehicle injuries increased by 9% and 13%, respectively.
CONCLUSION
The dramatic rise in micromobility- related injuries reflects their growing usage and the associated risks. Micromobility offers benefits and challenges for cities. Safety measures are crucial for their safe, sustainable use.
背景
电动滑板车等微型移动设备因其短途出行而广受欢迎。罗得岛州普罗维登斯于 2018 年引入了这些设备。我们调查了 2016 年至 2021 年罗得岛州（RI）与微型移动相关的伤害的非致命性伤害趋势和 ED 护理费用。
方法
数据来自医疗保健成本和利用项目（HCUP）和 RI 州急诊数据库（SEDD）。使用 ICD-10 代码，我们确定了与微型移动相关的伤害。分析跨越两个阶段：实施前（2016-2018 年）和实施后（2019-2021 年）。对年龄调整后的微型移动伤害率进行泊松回归，以评估随时间的变化。
结果
从 2016 年到 2021 年，与微型移动相关的 ED 就诊量增加了 600%。自行车伤害减少了 20%，而行人伤害和机动车伤害分别增加了 9%和 13%。
结论
微型移动相关伤害的急剧增加反映了它们的使用量不断增加和相关风险。微型移动为城市带来了好处和挑战。安全措施对于它们的安全、可持续使用至关重要。
