Abstract

Abstract: Background: Road traffic injuries (RTIs) and its related deaths is one of the main public health problems. The national and international efforts for reducing the RTIs and RTDs can only be successful if there be validated RTIs registry systems or precis related estimations. This information is important not only in the national but also at the international level because of carrying out the national and international coordinated efforts. In World Health Organization (WHO) reports in the years of 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2017 there are some differences about the numbers of RTDs between the national reports and WHO estimates for some high, middle and low-income countries. This study was aimed to investigate the differences in the numbers of RTDs between the national reports and WHO estimates. Methods: This is a combined study of review and systematic review. Review study was done on the WHO reports in the years of 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2017. Also, a systematic review has done on original research during the January 2008 and 2018 using the databases of EMBASE, CINAHL, PubMed, Google Scholar, Medline and ISI Web of Science. The related keywords determined for implementing the search. Results: The findings of this study show that there are some differences between the national reports and WHO estimates about the RTDs. The reasons for these differences are related to the following issues; 1) Road traffic registry system (RTRS) and its related issues. The quality of RTRS is different among the high, middle and low-income countries. 2) The issues related to modeling method which was done by WHO such as epidemiological differences among countries which were not considered in WHO modeling. Conclusions: Validated information about RTDs is very important to planning and implementing the effective programs for prevention and reducing the RTIs and RTDs. Given to observed differences between the countries national reports and WHO estimates and its related reasons, there is a need to pay more attention to considering in reports and planning.

国家报告与世界卫生组织道路交通死亡估计之间差异的原因调查

摘要：背景：道路交通伤害及其相关死亡是主要的公共卫生问题之一。只有有经过验证的RTI登记系统或精确的相关估计，国家和国际上减少RTI和RTD的努力才能取得成功。由于开展了国家和国际协调努力，这一信息不仅在国家层面，而且在国际层面都很重要。在世界卫生组织（世界卫生组织）2009年、2011年、2013年、2015年和2017年的报告中，一些高收入、中等收入和低收入国家的国家报告与世界卫生组织估计的RTD数量存在一些差异。这项研究旨在调查国家报告与世界卫生组织估计数之间的RTD数量差异。方法：采用回顾性研究和系统综述相结合的方法。对世界卫生组织2009年、2011年、2013年、2015年和2017年的报告进行了审查研究。此外，在2008年1月和2018年1月期间，使用EMBASE、CINAHL、PubMed、Google Scholar、Medline和ISI Web of Science的数据库对原始研究进行了系统综述。为实现搜索而确定的相关关键字。结果：本研究结果表明，国家报告与世界卫生组织估计的RTDs之间存在一些差异。造成这些差异的原因与以下问题有关；1）道路交通登记系统及其相关问题。RTRS的质量在高收入、中等收入和低收入国家之间有所不同。2）与世界卫生组织的建模方法有关的问题，如世界卫生组织建模中未考虑的各国之间的流行病学差异。结论：经验证的RTDs信息对于规划和实施预防和减少RTIs和RTDs的有效计划非常重要。鉴于观察到各国国家报告与世界卫生组织估计数之间的差异及其相关原因，有必要在报告和规划中更多地注意考虑。关键词：死亡人数，道路交通事故，国家报告，估计，世界卫生组织
