Pages

Abstract

 Objective: We conducted a triple phase project for Motorcycle Helmets Advocacy in Darab, a city in southwest Iran. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the project on decreasing the hazards of Motorcycle accidents. Methods: Using a questionnaire, data for ICU admission rates, hospital costs for patients who required ICU admission, rate of helmet usage, mortality and the duration of ICU care for patients admitted to Darab hospital due to Motorcycle accidents in Winter 2015 (before conducting the project) and Winter 2016 (after conducting the project) were gathered and compared. This feature was also separately done for patients younger than 17 years. Results: The rate of wearing Helmets increased significantly in winter 2016 (from 3. 4 % to 33%). Also ICU admission rate due to head trauma was significantly decreased after the project was done (from 14. 5 % to 4%). However, hospital costs for patients required ICU admission were increased in winter 2016. This increase, though not significant, seems to be due to an increase in health service expenses in the year 2016 as compared with the year 2015. The mortality rate was not significantly changed between the two mentioned years results. For patients younger than 17 years, no ICU admissions were needed in winter 2016. Conclusion: Even a short period of intervention can have positive effects on increasing the safety of Motorcycle drivers.
