This is the second paper in a series of three that describe the epidemiology of motorcycle crashes in New Zealand that result in death and hospitalisation. The first paper presented an overview of all motorcycle crashes. This paper focuses on traffic crashes. The source of the fatality data was national mortality data files for the years 1978 to 1987 inclusive. The source of the hospitalisation data was the 1988 national morbidity file which records all public hospital discharges in New Zealand. For the period 1978 to 1987, 1,175 fatalities were identified resulting in a mortality rate of 3.5 per 100,000 persons per year. Males aged 15-19 and 20-24 had very high rates (25.2 and 26.4, respectively), especially labourers (40.0) and forestry workers (32). Maori and non-Maori had similar rates. The majority (63%) of the deaths were attributable to a collision with another motor vehicle. During 1988 2,222 motorcyclists were hospitalised giving an incidence rate of 68.1 per 100,000 persons per year. Males aged 15-19 and 20-24 had very high rates (409 and 416, respectively), especially labourers (355). Maori had a higher morbidity rate than non-Maori (99 versus 61). The most common (40%) crash was a collision with another motor vehicle. The most common sites of injury were the lower limb (43%) and head (23%). Collision crashes were more likely to result in lower limb injury, be more severe, and result in longer stays in hospital.
这是关于新西兰导致死亡和住院的摩托车事故流行病学系列三篇论文中的第二篇。第一篇论文概述了所有摩托车事故。本文聚焦于交通事故。死亡数据的来源是1978年至1987年（含）的国家死亡率数据文件。住院数据的来源是1988年国家发病率文件，该文件记录了新西兰所有公立医院的出院情况。在1978年至1987年期间，共确认了1175例死亡，死亡率为每年每10万人中有3.5人。15至19岁和20至24岁的男性死亡率非常高（分别为25.2和26.4），尤其是劳工（40.0）和林业工人（32）。毛利人和非毛利人的死亡率相似。大多数（63%）死亡是由于与另一辆机动车碰撞所致。1988年，有2222名摩托车手住院，发病率为每年每10万人中有68.1人。15至19岁和20至24岁的男性发病率非常高（分别为409和416），尤其是劳工（355）。毛利人的发病率高于非毛利人（99对61）。最常见的（40%）事故是与另一辆机动车碰撞。最常见的受伤部位是下肢（43%）和头部（23%）。碰撞事故更有可能导致下肢受伤，伤情更严重，住院时间更长。
