Burden and Patterns of Electric Scooter-Related Injuries: Insights From 2 Polish Emergency Departments

Abstract

The widespread adoption of electric scooters (e-scooters) as a mode of urban transportation has led to a notable upsurge in e-scooter-related injuries globally. Variations in e-scooter regulations across countries contribute to differences in injury patterns. This study sought to investigate the healthcare burden posed by e-scoot-er-related injuries on emergency departments (EDs) in Poland, and to delineate the epidemiological and clinical features of these injuries.
