On the Time Series Forecasting of Road Traffic Accidents in Ondo State of Nigeria

This paper focuses on time series forecasting of monthly occurrence of fatal road accidents in Ondo State of Nigeria. Its aim, however, is to use time series analysis to analyze the data obtained from Federal Road Safety Corps （FRSC）, Ondo State Command; which was considered in two cases： the total cases reported （TCR） and the number of deaths resulted from accidents （NOD）. Various smoothing models for time series were used to analyze the two cases. Based on the models, predictions were made and the results show a steady increase as a result of long-term effects on road accidents for the two cases. It was found also that simple exponential smoothing model is the appropriate model for both TCR and NOD.

Analysis of Road Traffic Accident Costs in Sudan Using the Human Capital Method

In this study, we used the Human Capital (HC) accident analysis method, to determine the road traffic accident costs in Sudan in two successive years (2010 and 2011) with slight modifications to the recommended and known framework in the way it handles currently and future accident cost components. We evaluated and compared the significance and impact of the economic loss caused by road traffic accidents in Sudan using detailed information on road traffic accident casualties, classified by severity level, vehicle type, and other key parameters such as discount rates and medical and insurance information for Sudan in its entirety. The total cost of road traffic accidents in Sudan in 2010 was estimated at US $391 million, which represents 0.57% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), while in 2011 the cost was calculated to reach US $413 million, representing 0.62% of GDP. Findings show that the amount of accident costs is estimated to a certain extent at less than 1% of the total GDP of the country in the two estimation years, but we believe that the evaluation process used fulfilled the eligibility criteria of HC studies and that the produced values for Sudan are valid and reliable. Unit costs for each crash severity level were also estimated in the two years such as death, disability, serious injury, slight injury, and vehicle damage. Death or fatality was equal to US $38,932 and 39,508;disability was equal to US $43,113 and US $45,165;serious injury was equal to US $6963 and US $7596;slight injury was equal to US $2570 and US $3198 and vehicle damage only was equal to US $2268 and US $2579 in the assessment years 2010 and 2011, respectively.

Analysis of Thorax Injuries in 112 Death Cases Caused by Traffic Accidents

Objective: To explore the characteristics and mechanisms of serious injuries of chest caused by road traffic accidents. Methods: Totally 112 autopsy cases with chest injuries in the urban of Jingzhou road traffic accidents were collected. Systematic review and analysis of the general information, postmortem examinations and assessments of chest injury had carried out from Feb. 2016 to Mar. 2018. Results: Average age of the victims was 52.2 years and the ratio of male to female deaths was 2.39:1. The proportion of motor-cyclists and pedestrians increased significantly. The overwhelming majority of accident vehicles were motorcycles and bicycles. Fractures of ribs and pulmonary contusion were the most common injuries. Craniocerebral and abdominal injuries were the most common associated injuries. Conclusion: Fractures of ribs and pulmonary contusion were the most common features of fatal road traffic injuries, often associated with vitreoretinal damage and serious multiple damages. These features reflect the characteristics of great violence in traffic accidents, which provides the evidence of identification of violent injuries.

Risk factors and predictive model of cerebral edema after road traffic accidents-related traumatic brain injury

Purpose:Cerebral edema(CE)is the main secondary injury following traumatic brain injury(TBI)caused by road traffic accidents(RTAs).It is challenging to be predicted timely.In this study,we aimed to develop a prediction model for CE by identifying its risk factors and comparing the timing of edema occurrence in TBI patients with varying levels of injuries.Methods:This case-control study included 218 patients with TBI caused by RTAs.The cohort was divided into CE and non-CE groups,according to CT results within 7 days.Demographic data,imaging data,and clinical data were collected and analyzed.Quantitative variables that follow normal distribution were presented as mean±standard deviation,those that do not follow normal distribution were presented as median(Q1,Q3).Categorical variables were expressed as percentages.The Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were used to identify risk factors for CE.Logistic curve fitting was performed to predict the time to secondary CE in TBI patients with different levels of injuries.The efficacy of the model was evaluated using the receiver operator characteristic curve.Results:According to the study,almost half(47.3%)of the patients were found to have CE.The risk factors associated with CE were bilateral frontal lobe contusion,unilateral frontal lobe contusion,cerebral contusion,subarachnoid hemorrhage,and abbreviated injury scale(AIS).The odds ratio values for these factors were 7.27(95%confidence interval(CI):2.08-25.42,p=0.002),2.85(95%CI:1.11-7.31,p=0.030),2.62(95%CI:1.12-6.13,p=0.027),2.44(95%CI:1.25-4.76,p=0.009),and 1.5(95%CI:1.10-2.04,p=0.009),respectively.We also observed that patients with mild/moderate TBI(AIS≤3)had a 50%probability of developing CE 19.7 h after injury(χ^(2)=13.82,adjusted R2=0.51),while patients with severe TBI(AIS>3)developed CE after 12.5 h(χ^(2)=18.48,adjusted R2=0.54).Finally,we conducted a receiver operator characteristic curve analysis of CE time,which showed an area under the curve of 0.744 and 0.672 for severe and mild/moderate TBI,respectively.Conclusion:Our study found that the onset of CE in individuals with TBI resulting from RTAs was correlated with the severity of the injury.Specifically,those with more severe injuries experienced an earlier onset of CE.These findings suggest that there is a critical time window for clinical intervention in cases of CE secondary to TBI.

Multivariate Analysis of Accidents in Children Under 15 in Algeria （2012-MICS4）

Usually, data on road traffic accidents in Algeria are not available to researchers. Fortunately, MICS4mthe Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey conducted by UNICEF during 2012-2013 has introduced a module on accidents among children less than 15 years. In Algeria, the MICS4 survey targeted a sample of 28,000 households distributed over the national territory. These are the main results of polynomial logistic regression： Children in the richest quintile （B = .562, p 〈 .05）, are much less exposed than children in the poorest quintile. The odd ratio is 1.75. Compared to children aged 12 to 14, the younger children of 0-2 years （B = -1.059, p 〈 .05）, are three times less exposed （odd ratio = .347） to road traffic accidents; and children of 9-11 years （B = .520, p 〈 .05）, are most exposed with an odd ratio of 1.68. For territorial planning areas, with the South being taken as a reference category, the risk of traffic accidents for a child is the lowest in the West Highlanders （B = -1.257, p 〈 .05）, followed by the North Center （B = -1.163, p 〈 .05）, the East Highlands （B = -1.053, p 〈 .05）, the Northwest （B = -1.034, p 〈 .05）, and the Northeast （B = -.805, p 〈 .05）. Odd ratio values are respectively .29, .313, .349, .356, and .447.

Disability to Admit as a Change of Life after a Road Crash: Estimates and Related Factors in Benin for Prevention

Background: Disability is an underestimated issue in public health, with road crashes as leading cause. In Africa, motorcyclists disproportionately bear the burden of road crash injuries, including disability. To contribute to decision-making for disability prevention, this study aims to determine the prevalence and factors associated with disability at 12 months among motorcyclists involved in road crashes in Benin. Methods: This is a prospective, cross-sectional, analytical study based on 12-month follow-up data from a cohort of road crash victims set up in five hospitals in Benin. Data were collected from November 2020 to January 2021. Sample used for this analysis size was 297 motorcyclists. Disability was assessed using the Washington Group on Disabilities Statistics question set. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors for disability in victims 12 months after the crash. Results: The prevalence of disability was 12.5% 95% CI (9.2 - 16.7). Disability occurrence was associated with being over 45 years old (OR = 3.1;95% CI = 1.5 - 6.6), severity of initial injury (OR = 3.3;95% CI = 1.5 - 7.3) and hospitalisation of the victim (OR = 6.9;95% CI = 2.0 - 24). Conclusion: Age over 45 years, severity of initial injuries and hospitalisation of the victim were risk factors for the occurrence of disability among motorcyclists who were victims of road crashes in Benin. User awareness, law enforcement, holistic and early management of road crash victims could contribute to reducing the prevalence of disability among victims in Benin.

Limited Knowledge of Safe Driving Practice among Drivers with Diabetes in Armenia: Association with Greater Risk of Motor Vehicle Accidents

Aims: The aims of the study were to assess the degree of knowledge and adherence to the recommended safe practice for driving and the risk of road traffic accidents among people with diabetes mellitus in Armenia. Methods: A total of 628 respondents, including 200 drivers, out of 641 consecutive attendees at six diabetes clinics, participated in the survey. A modified British questionnaire on driving and diabetes was used to obtain the relevant data. The information from all 103 drivers treated with insulin and 73 taking sulfonylureas was reviewed. Results: The study revealed that of 176 insulin and sulfonylurea-treated drivers, 161 (91.5%) had never received any advice about safe driving practices. Among the drivers, 156 (88.6%) never measured their blood glucose before, or during driving. The survey revealed that 86 (51.2%) of 168 patients had a history of at least one motor vehicle accident within the previous 5 years. The average road traffic accident rate per person/year was 0.21. Conclusions: The study revealed a lack of knowledge among drivers with diabetes treated with insulin or sulfonylureas concerning recommended safe practices for driving. This was associated with significant hypoglycemia while driving and an elevated rate of road traffic accidents.

Influence of road types on road traffic accidents in northern Guizhou Province,China

Purpose The increasing number of deaths due to road traffic accidents(RTAs)has attracted global attention.However,the influence of road types is rarely considered in the study of RTAs.This study evaluates the influence of different road types in RTAs in northern Guizhou to provide a basis for the formulation of evidence-based policies and measures.Methods We obtained the data from the Zunyi Traffic Management Data Platform for the years 2009–2018.The mortality rates of RTAs were calculated.Descriptive methods and Chi-square tests were used to analyze the characteristics of road traffic collisions on different road types.We also examined the associations between the mortality rate per 10,000 vehicles and the growth of per capital gross domestic product(GDP)with Spearman’s rank correlation analysis.According to the passing volume and the infrastructure,we defined different types of roads,like administrative road,functional road,general urban road and urban expressway.Results In 2012,the traffic mortality rate of administrative roads was 8.9 per 100,000 people,and the mortality rate of functional roads was 7.4 per 100,000 people,which decreased in 2018 to 6.1 deaths per 100,000 people and 5.2 deaths per 100,000 people,respectively.The mortality rate per 10,000 vehicles reached the highest level in 2011(28.8 per 10,000 vehicles and 22.5 per 10,000 vehicles on administrative and functional roads,respectively).The death rate of county roads was the highest among administrative roads(χ^(2)=17.389,p<0.05)and that of fourth-class roads was the highest among functional roads(χ^(2)=21.785,p<0.05).The mortality rate per 10,000 vehicles was negatively correlated with per capital GDP.Conclusion Although our research shows that RTAs in northern Guizhou have steadily declined in recent years,the range of decline is relatively small.Many measures and sustainable efforts are needed to control road traffic death and accelerate the progress in road traffic safety in northern Guizhou.

Analysis of risk factors contributing to road traffic accidents in a tertiary care hospital. A hospital based cross-sectional study

Purpose: Road traffic accidents (RTAs) are a public health issue and cost a lot to individuals, families, communities and nations. Trauma care systems in India are at a nascent stage of development. There is gross disparity between trauma services available in various parts of the country. Rural area in India has inefficient services for trauma care, due to the varied topography, financial constraints, and lack of appropriate health infrastructure. The present study is to study the trends of occurrence of RTA cases by month, week and time of accident occurrence as well as to research the types of vehicle involved in accidents and other various risk factors related to them.Methods: During 1st January 2017 to 31st December 2017, a hospital-based and cross-sectional study of RTA victims was conducted. The patients were admitted in emergency department of Uttar Pradesh University of Medical Sciences, Saifai, Etawah, when stabilized, they were shifted to the orthopaedics and surgery ward.Results: In the study, 654 road accident victims were included, of which the majority were males (77.5%) and the most of them belonged to rural (67%). RTA victims according to the month of occurrence majority were found in January (12.5%) and evening was time of a day with maximum accidents (32.1%). Mortality cases of RTA victims based on type of road user and it shows decreasing trend of mortality of motor-cyclists (54.2%) followed by pedestrian (25.1%).Conclusion: There should be control over people driving vehicles under the influence of alcohol and drivers over-speeding and rash driving on urban roads as well as rural village roads.

Burden of road traffic accidents in Nepal by calculating disability-adjusted life years

Objective:To calculate the burden of road traffic accidents in Kathmandu Valley and then extrapolate this to the national level.Methods:A prospective study was performed to compute the burden of road traffic accidents by quantification of disability-adjusted life years(DALYs)using the Global Burden of Disease Study method on the basis of 1-year data from nine hospitals in Nepal and the Department of Foren-sic Medicine and cross-checked with the Nepal Traffic Directorate.Multiple methods were applied to the extrapolated population metrics of the burden of road traffic accidents in Nepal.Results:The total number of years of life lived in disability,years of life lost,and DALYs in Nepal were 38,848±194,119,935±1464,and 158,783±1658(95% confidence interval)re-spectively.The number of years lost because of morbidity and death was similar in Kathmandu Valley.Most(75%)of the DALYs resulted from years of life lost in Nepal.Males accounted for 73% of DALYs.Almost half(44%)of the DALYs were contributed by the group aged 15-29 years.Conclusion:This study is the first to calculate the burden of road traffic accidents in Nepal using Nepal’s own data.Nepal needs to develop and enhance its own system to identify significant public health issues so as to set national priorities for prevention of road traffic accidents.

Road Traffic Accident Fatalities and its Association with Key SocioDemographic Determinants in Nashik,Maharashtra:A Recurring Challenge

Background:Road traffic accidents are not a new phenomenon,rather ifs a disturbing occurrence which shows no sign of abating very soon.Rather,it remains one of those public health issues which even the most educated and civilized populations tend to ignore,primarily for the thrill of it.This study aims to identify the outcome associated with vehicular accidents and its association with socio-demographic factors.Method:This is a retrospective,record-based study of victims of road traffic accidents admitted in a tertiary care hospital in Nashik,Maharashtra.The data would include records from the 2018 to 2019.The variables will include the socio-demographic factors,site of injuries and its severity.A descriptive analysis would be done by SPSS software to find out the prevalence of vehicular accidents,association of site of injury with age and severity of the trauma.Ethical approval would be taken before the initiation of the study.Result:A total of486 victims ofRTAs were included from the medical records of the casualty of a tertiary care hospital,out of which 330 were from the year 2018 and 156 from 2019.A look at the sociodemographic profiles of the RTA victims showed that females comprised only 19.3%(2018)and 18.6%(2019)of the total victims in road traffic accidents,while majority,80.6%(2018)and 81.4%(2019)were males during the same period.Overall,we can also observe that both in 2018(38.5%)and 2019(50.6%)most of the road traffic accidents among the victims were of moderate grade.Conclusion:The need of the hour is to bring about a change from within through self-reflection of lawmakers,strict implementation of traffic rules and guidelines with hefty fines,lockup,and criminal punishment to habitual wrongdoers.

Comparison of road traffic fatalities and injuries in Iran with other countries

Objective： To compare fatalities and injuries in road traffic crashes （RTC） in Iran with other countries. Methods： Data were obtained from national health sources of Iran. These data included population number, registered motor-vehicles number, number of RTCs and consequent fatalities and injuries from 1997 to 2006. Results： RTC fatality and injury rates increased from 1997 to 2005, but decreased in 2006. The overall men/women ratio in the RTC fatalities was 4.2：1. High RTC fatality rate of 39 per 100 000 population in Iran was almost the same as some other developing countries. In Iran, RTC fatalities in recent years were almost twice as much as the highest rate among the European countries. Conclusions： This investigation shows that in spite of reduction of RTC fatality in Iran in 2006, it is still one of the highest in the world. Moreover, this paper describes the state of RTC-related parameters in a developing country in comparison with the developed countries.

Spinal cord injuries from road traffic crashes in southeastern Iran

Objective ： To analyze the data of patients with spinal cord injury （SCI） induced by road traffic crashes in southeastern Iran for better understanding the pattern of these injuries and therefore for better designing health system planning. Methods ： In this historical cohort study, the patients who had been transferred to Level I trauma center in southeastern Iran due to road traffic accidents with radiographic documented SCI were evaluated. Results： Among 64 patients with SCI, 38 patients （59.4 %, 36 males and 2 females, aged 27.42 years ± 9.44 years on average） were injured by road traffic accidents. Car and motorcycle accidents were responsible for 26 cases （68.4%） and 12 cases （31.6%）, respectively. And 31patients （81. 6%） had complete SCI. Conus medularis （T12-L2 ） was the most affected level. Conclusions： Results are discussed in terms of preventive measures, specifically those concerning the use of restraint and helmet and driving behavior. This study should be extended nationally to gain a larger case series so that the SCI risk of particular vehicle configurations, considering other crash factors, can be more precisely quantified and the characteristics for low occurrence of SCI can be more precisely identified.

Clinical and epidemiological features of pelvic fractures presenting to the emergency department in a tertiary health care hospital in south India:A retrospective study

Objective:To determine the clinical and epidemiological features of pelvic fracture patients presenting to the Emergency Department.Methods:This prospective observational study was conducted in a tertiary care center in south India.Causes of injury,types of pelvic fractures,the associated injuries,and outcome at the time of discharge were recorded.Results:A total of 140 patients were included in this study.Most patients were classified as type A(n=62),followed by type B(n=48)and type C(n=30).A total of 112 patients were injured due to road traffic accidents,followed by a fall from a height(n=23)and a fall from a heavy object(n=5).Most subjects had facial injuries(n=99,70.7%),followed by head injuries(n=51,36.4%).Five percent of the patients were expired,12%left against medical advice,and 83%were discharged.Conclusions:The incidence of pelvic fractures presenting to the Emergency Department is relatively high in India.Road traffic accidents are the primary cause of pelvic fractures and associated facial and head injuries.The outcomes demonstrate the need for improved prevention strategies and comprehensive management protocols to reduce mortality.

Socio-Demographic Profile of Patients Victims of Subaxial Cervical Spine Trauma at the University Hospital of Brazzaville (Congo)

Introduction: Traumatic spinal cord injuries (TSCI) are a public health problem. Subaxial cervical spine trauma (SCST) is the most common. They are a source of neurological consequences that can affect the functional prognosis, but above all vital. The objective of this study was to describe the profile of patients with lower cervical spine trauma. Method: We carried out a cross-sectional and retrospective study over seven years, from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2021, in the multipurpose surgery department of the University Hospital Center of Brazzaville. We included all patients hospitalized for SCST, having performed at least one radiological examination. We excluded all patients whose records were incomplete. Results: We recorded 90 cases of SCST, and 60 cases met our selection criteria. The median age was 37 years, with the extremes of 6 and 83, the sex ratio of 3.6. The level of education was secondary in 45 cases (75%), and university in 13 cases (21.7%). Road traffic accidents accounted for 68.3% of cases, followed by falls in 16.7%. Motorcyclists were the most frequent victims (46.3%). Among the 60 patients in the series, three (5%) had health insurance. Conclusion: The SCST concerns subjects in their thirties, of the male sex. Road traffic accidents are the first cause, and mainly concern motorcyclists.

Statistical analysis on 2213 inpatients with traffic injuries from January 2003 to September 2005 in Ningbo city

To analyze the epidemiological conditions and characteristics of inpatients with traffic trauma in order to provide objective data for basic research and clinical application of traffic trauma. Methods： The data of 2213 inpatients with traffic trauma admitted to Lihuili Hospital, Ningbo Medical Centre, Ningbo, China, from January 2003 to September 2005 were studied retrospectively. According to the transportation ways, the patients were divided into four groups： pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists, and automobilists. And the data of injured regions, combined injuries and causes of death were analyzed statistically. Results： Among the 2213 patients, there were 550 pedestrians （ 23. 5 %）, 521 bicyclists （24. 9%）, 738 motorcyclists （33.3%）, and 404 automobilists （18.3%）, Male patients were more than female ones, with the ratio of male to female of 2.8：1. Single region injury was found in 1663 patients （75.15%） and multiple injuries in 550 patients （24.85 % ）. In total, 2849 regions were injured. Fracture of extremities （53.3%） occurred most often, craniocerebral tranma （19. 4% ） next, then followed in turn by fracture visceral injury （6.56%）, spine （5.37 % ）, fracture of ribs （4.88 % ）, and pelvic fracture （4.18%）. The percentage of multiple injuries （33.2%） was highest and the percentage of thoracoabdominal injury （18.0%） was higher in motorcyclists. The percentages of craniocerebral trauma in pedestrians and bicyclists were 27.8 % and 28.2 %, respectively. The incidence of fracture of extremities in motorcyclists reached 73.8%, but with the lowest case-fatality ratio of 1.4%. The incidence of traffic accidents caused by motorcyclists themselves （32.8%） was highest. A total of 56 patients died, with the case-fatality ratio of 2.53%. Among the deaths, 47 died from craniocerebral injury, 6 from multiple fractures combined with hemorrhagic shock, 2 from combined injury in the thoraco-abdominal region, and 1 from cervical cord injury. Concinsions： Nowadays, the patients with traffic trauma are mainly pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcyclists, and they suffer generally from fracture of extremities and craniocerebral injury. The main cause of death is craniocerebral injury. Another characteristic of traffic trauma is that the ratio of multiple injuries is higher.

The common road safety approaches:A scoping review and thematic analysis

Purpose:Comparison of effective road safety approaches with those of relatively similar countries can be used to identify possibilities for safety improvement.Since there is no clear and comprehensive study of countries'current and successful approaches to road safety in the world,the aim of this study was to identifying common road safety approaches in the world.Methods:This study was performed using scoping review and thematic analysis.The study followed the approach proposed by Arksey and O'Malley.In this study all articles were selected without time limit by searching in the following databases:Web of Science,PubMed,Scopus,ProQuest,and Embase.An initial search of 5612 papers was found and finally,20 papers met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed.Results:There were different road safety approaches in different countries around the world,which were classified in three themes:traditional approach,systemic approach,and vision zero.The traditional approach includes the sub-theme of the road-user approach,and the causal approach.The systemic approach also includes sub-themes of sustainable safety,safety system,and the United Nations plan for decade of action,Conclusion:A systemic approach to road safety seems to be welcomed by most developed and developing countries,and a paradigm shift towards a safe system has taken place.Also,given the successful results of implementing vision zero in leading countries,most countries are trying to design and implement this approach.Finally,the choice and implementation of road safety approaches varies according to the principles,priorities and infrastructure of each country.

Relationship between religion and school students＇ road behavior in southern Iran

Purpose： Unsafe behaviors are an important cause of accidents in adolescent age groups. This study was designed to examine the behaviors of adolescent pedestrians in southern Iran. Methods： This is a descriptive analytical cross-sectional study. The study population consisted of high school students in Shiraz, capital city of Fars Province, Iran. Five hundred and sixteen students were selected by multi-stage sampling. Data were collected by the use of three questionnaires, which included Persian copies of adolescent road user behavior questionnaire （ARBQ）, Duke University Religious Index （DUREL）, as well as the context and independent variables questionnaire. Results： The results showed that a decrease in dangerous behaviors on the road resulted in an increase in respondents＇ intrinsic religiosity. Also, engagement in unsafe crossing behavior in the road decreased with increasing respondents＇ intrinsic religiosity. Another finding showed that female students were less involved in dangerous play and planned protective behaviors on the road. Conclusion： Findings clearly indicate that intrinsic religiosity has a significant role in reducing the risky road behaviors of students. Hence, religion may improve road safety in school students＇ road behavior in Iran.
