摘要:

This paper discusses the application of epidemiological methods to the public health problem of road trauma. The complex nature of the system is stressed, and some consequent difficulties in the formulation of appropriate hypotheses are outlined. Examples are given. To solve these problems, the paper proposes the formation of multidisciplinary full‐time epidemiological research team

摘要:

This paper laments the existence of widespread “instant” expertise on road trauma; postulates the need for multidisciplinary epidemiological research teams to produce a more scientific approach to this problem, based on authoritative information and analysis; and suggests that any such teams will require accessible, comprehensive, compatible data. The paper describes some problems of existing data collections associated with the source of the data, the lack of compatibility and comprehensiveness, and the absence of data on exposure and on severity of injury. It is suggested that, in the context of these deficiencies, extensive development of new data is unrealistic. Instead, the paper concludes by recommending gradual expansion of currently available data on a national basis, under the control of the Australian Bureau of Statistics. It is suggested that Section 51 of the Constitution provides the necessary head of power for this developm

摘要:

The statistical information on blood alcohol levels in road crash fatalities and casualties together with screening breath tests (evidential and non‐evidential) can be used to identify drink‐drivers in a high alcohol consuming society which has the second highest vehicle ownership per head of population in the world. Control of the drink driving problem can be achieved by short and long term education, plus the deterrent effect of a high predictability of detection by the enforcement of legislation providing severe penalties backed by the courts. Some positive results have been achieved in Australia, particularly in the State of Victoria, where drink driving legislation has been more extensive than in other Sta

摘要:

At St Vincent's Hospital, Melbourne, the number of patients admitted annually with road crash injuries has remained almost constant for the past 14 years. Comparing admissions in the seven years before and during the seven years since enactment of seat belt legislation in Victoria, there has been no change in the proportion of those admitted with abdominal injuries, in the number of associated non‐abdominal severe injuries, or in the death rate of those admitted with abdominal injuries. There has, however, been a significant increase in the number of patients admitted with injuries of the gastrointestinal tract and diaphragm. It is suggested that this increase is due to incorrect wearing of the lap component of seat belts with resulting acute abdominal compressio
