This paper examines the consistency of police and hospital reporting of outcomes of road traffic crashes using a database of linked police crash reports and accident and emergency department data. The database used consisted of linked records of road traffic crashes in Western Australia for the period of October 1, 1987 to December 31, 1988 from police reported casualty crashes, the discharge records from all hospital admissions in Western Australia, the Registrar-General's death records, and records for each ambulance trip as a result of a road crash in the metropolitan area of Perth. The results suggest that police records of hospital admissions from the group of accident and emergency attendances underestimated the total by approximately 15%.
本文利用警方交通事故报告与事故及急诊科数据的关联数据库，研究了警方和医院对道路交通事故结果报告的一致性。所使用的数据库包含1987年10月1日至1988年12月31日期间西澳大利亚州道路交通事故的关联记录，这些记录来自警方报告的伤亡事故、西澳大利亚州所有医院入院的出院记录、总登记官的死亡记录以及珀斯都会区因道路交通事故产生的每次救护车行程记录。结果表明，警方对事故及急诊就诊人群中入院情况的记录低估了总数约15%。
