Abstract

Objective: To investigate the factors affecting the hospital costs in the road traffic injuries.

Methods: This applied study examined the information of patients presenting to Yazd Trauma Center in 2018. The data were extracted from Comprehensive Traffic Injuries System affiliated to the center, which were described with frequency, percentage, mean, and SD, and then analyzed using independent t-test and one-way ANOVA.

Results: Most injuries (%66.4) are caused by motorcycle and pertained to head region (%61.8). Some significant correlations were found among gender, type of injury, patient's final status, site of road accident, patient's nationality, type of vehicle used at the time of accident, length of stay (hospital stay), patient's age, and hospital costs (p<0.05). Moreover, the costs were higher in men, and in those with head and neck injuries, dead casualties, suburban high-way accidents, motor cyclists, hospital stay longer than three days, and older patients.

Conclusion: Given the significant correlations between demographic and social variables under study, the results may be used in planning and designing strategies for controlling road traffic injuries and reducing the related hospitalization costs.

道路交通伤害的医院费用分析。

目的:探讨影响道路交通伤害住院费用的因素。方法:本应用研究调查了2018年在亚兹德创伤中心就诊的患者信息。数据提取自中心所属的综合交通伤害系统，用频率、百分比、均值、SD进行描述，并采用独立t检验和单因素方差分析进行分析。结果:摩托车造成的损伤以头部损伤为主，占66.4 %，占61.8 %。性别、损伤类型、患者最终状态、道路事故发生地点、患者国籍、事故发生时使用的车辆类型、住院时间(住院时间)、患者年龄和住院费用之间存在显著相关(p)。考虑到所研究的人口和社会变量之间的显著相关性，研究结果可用于规划和设计控制道路交通伤害和降低相关住院费用的策略。
