Analysis of Factors Affecting Severity of Frontal Motor Vehicle Collision - Prospective Observational Study

摘要

This study analyzed multiple factors affecting occupant's injury severity at frontal motor vehicle collision by taking the comparison of cases with minor and major injuries. We collected detailed information of 112 injured occupants in 93 accident vehicles with whose AIS were over 2 point in any body part among those who visited at emergency room of two domestic hospitals by frontal motor vehicle crash accident. We also surveyed the cause of accident, information of accident vehicle, vehicle's damage type or extent, occupant's information and injury details, and accident environment. Multivariate logistic regression models were built to adjust for confounders.
