Abstract

Background: Sever injuries, disabilities and deaths from ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENTs have unpleasant results on individual, familial and social levels. According to lack of basic information about risk factor of seventy of road traffic injury, this study conducted to examine and quantify the association between potential RISK FACTORS and INJURY SEVERITY in injured drivers of ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENTs.Materials & Methods: Study was conducted on the 175 drivers with newly road traffic injuries (those need medical or surgical services) in Qazvin-loshan road from 28 Mar to 22 Jul 2005. Association between 16 risk factor and INJURY SEVERITY (HISS score) was assessed Data obtained from interview with drivers, hospital records and police reports and was analyzed with two approaches: bivariate analysis (crude) and multiple linear regressions.Results: In data processing (bivariant analysis) ejection from vehicle, severity of collision, trapped in vehicle, number of crash, fall down to valley, overturning, deviation from road, length of time to assist, left side versus rear-end accident and age of driver were associated to collision severity. In multivariate analysis one unite rise in collision severity index, trapped in vehicle and ejection multiply NISS score by 4.14, 1.53 and 1.482 respectively. Trapped in automobile, ejection from vehicle, left side Vs. rear-end collision and an unit increasing in severity of collision index and age of driver increase NISS value multiplicatively by 1.531 (1.188-1.972), 1.482 (1.164 -1.892),1.585 (1.076- 2.333),4.14 (2.589 - 6.637) and 1.009 (1-1.016) respectively in the multivariate analysis.Conclusion: To reduce severity of injuries in ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENTs, strategies must target severity of collision by speed controlling, helmet and seat belt using and improving assistance to injured drivers.
