To quantify the increased risk of non-fatal injury when children travel unrestrained in a car, and to identify other preventable risk factors.
Case-control study of 78 children presenting to an accident and emergency (A&E) department having sustained an injury while travelling in a car, and 97 children attending an A&E outpatient clinic with conditions unrelated to road traffic accidents.
Seat restraint was associated with a 93% lower risk of child accident injury. A driver with points on the licence was over five times more likely to have had an accident resulting in child injury than a driver without points. Child accident injury was also associated with the driver's accident history.
These data allow the effect of achieving new target levels of seat restraint use to be estimated. Strategies aimed at reducing the risk of further accident among drivers with a history of accident may have a beneficial impact on childhood accident injuries.
量化儿童在乘车时未使用约束装置情况下非致命伤害风险的增加,并识别其他可预防的风险因素。
对78名在乘车时受伤并前往事故与急救(A&E)科室就诊的儿童,以及97名前往A&E门诊就诊且病情与道路交通事故无关的儿童进行病例对照研究。
使用座椅约束装置可使儿童事故伤害风险降低93%。有驾照扣分记录的司机发生导致儿童受伤事故的可能性比没有扣分记录的司机高出五倍多。儿童事故伤害还与司机的事故历史有关。
这些数据有助于估计实现新的座椅约束装置使用目标水平的效果。针对降低有事故历史的司机发生进一步事故风险的策略,可能会对儿童事故伤害产生有益影响。
