Abstract

Abstract: Background: The mortality rate per 10,000 vehicles caused by road traffic accidents is 3 people in the world and 33 people in Iran. This trend has been on the rise in the recent years. Considering the high of mortality rate caused by road traffic accidents in Iran, the present study was carried out to identify the factors influencing the mortality caused by road traffic accidents. Methods: To analyze the mortality rate caused by road traffic accidents and the factors involved, all closed files in Iran insurance company (compensation unit) in Kermanshah province, Iran in 2013 were investigated. Data analysis was performed by multivariate logistic regression. Results: From 1517 rood traffic accidents, 2026 people had car crash; 1.33 accidents per each car crash, from whom 1859 (54.1%) people had been injured and 158 (4.6%) had dead. The severity of accident was higher in men than in women, as 102 (68%) men and 48 (32%) women had died due to accident. The most frequent cause of death was brain injuries (67%). Also, 61.4% of the people had died at the site of accident and 29.7% had died during transfer to hospital. Conclusions: Brain injuries and complications associated with them are the most common causes of death during traffic accidents. More than half of the deaths due to traffic accidents are caused by brain injury. Therefore, protecting the head while driving is one of the most important priorities in traffic accidents. Key words: Traffic Accidents, accident severity, mortality, crash. Keywords: Traffic Accidents, Accident severity, Mortality, Crash

致命交通事故的影响因素:保险案例，伊朗

摘要:背景:世界道路交通事故死亡率为每万辆车3人，伊朗为33人。这一趋势近年来呈上升趋势。考虑到伊朗道路交通事故造成的高死亡率，本研究旨在确定道路交通事故造成的死亡率的影响因素。方法:对伊朗克尔曼沙赫省伊朗保险公司(赔偿单位)2013年所有结案档案进行调查，分析道路交通事故死亡率及其影响因素。数据分析采用多元逻辑回归。结果:1517起道路交通事故中，有2026人发生车祸;每宗车祸造成1.33宗意外，其中1859人(54.1%)受伤，158人(4.6%)死亡。男性的事故严重程度高于女性，有102名(68%)男性和48名(32%)女性死于事故。最常见的死亡原因是脑损伤(67%)。61.4%的人在事故现场死亡，29.7%的人在转送医院的过程中死亡。结论:脑损伤及其并发症是交通事故中最常见的死亡原因。交通事故中一半以上的死亡是由脑损伤引起的。因此，在驾驶时保护头部是交通事故中最重要的优先事项之一。关键词:交通事故，事故严重程度，死亡率，碰撞。关键词:交通事故，事故严重程度，死亡率，碰撞
