Abstract

Background: Globally, transport injuries persist as the leading preventable cause of adolescent harm. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the role of human factors in causing traffic accidents in urban and suburban areas of Jahrom, Fars province, Iran. Methods: This descriptive study used the census data of 598 accidents and incidents on urban and suburban roads recorded in the accident registration forms (KAM) of the Police Information and Communication Technology (ICT- FAVA) system in Jahrom in 2020. The obtained data were analyzed by SPSS 20 software using descriptive statistics, chi-square test, and multivariable logistic regression. Simultaneously, population-attributable risks for violations of drivers involved in accidents on urban and suburban roads were determined. Results: The multivariable logistic regression analysis identified sudden diversion (OR = 11.02, 95% CI: 3.79 - 32.00), inattention to the front (OR = 6.68, 95% CI: 3.27 - 13.61), non-observance of the right of priority (OR = 6.25, 95% CI: 2.80 - 13.98), and inability to control the vehicle (OR = 4.05, 95% CI: 1.81 - 8.90) as risk factors for death or injury in urban roads. Meanwhile, death or injury on suburban roads was associated with failure to yield to the right of way (OR = 2.25, 95% CI: 1.08 - 4.67), inattention to the front (OR = 1.95, 95% CI: 1.08 - 3.51), and inability to control the vehicle (OR = 41.86, 95% CI: 1.001 - 4.63). Among humans factors of accidents on urban and suburban roads, inattention to the front (78.84% vs. 37.73%) and failure to yield to the right of way (62.75% vs. 32.31%) had the greatest population-attributable fraction risk factors of death or injury. Conclusions: Inattention to the front and non-observance of the right of way by drivers were the first and second ranks in accidents leading to injury and death. It is suggested that the relevant laws and legislations be intensified and enforced more seriously.

伊朗南部城市和郊区交通事故中严重伤害的人为风险因素:来自警方数据的洞察

背景:在全球范围内，交通伤害仍然是青少年伤害的主要可预防原因。目的:本研究旨在确定人为因素在伊朗法尔斯省贾罗姆市城市和郊区交通事故中的作用。方法:本研究采用2020年Jahrom市警察信息通信技术(ICT- FAVA)系统事故登记表(KAM)中记录的598起城市和郊区道路事故和事件普查数据。所得资料采用SPSS 20软件进行描述性统计、卡方检验和多变量logistic回归分析。同时，确定了城市和郊区道路交通事故中驾驶员违规行为的人口归因风险。结果:多变量logistic回归分析发现，突然转向(OR = 11.02, 95% CI: 3.79 - 32.00)、不注意前方(OR = 6.68, 95% CI: 3.27 - 13.61)、不遵守优先行驶权(OR = 6.25, 95% CI: 2.80 - 13.98)和无法控制车辆(OR = 4.05, 95% CI: 1.81 - 8.90)是城市道路上死亡或受伤的危险因素。与此同时，郊区道路上的死亡或受伤与未能让路(or = 2.25, 95% CI: 1.08 - 4.67)、不注意前方(or = 1.95, 95% CI: 1.08 - 3.51)和无法控制车辆(or = 41.86, 95% CI: 1.001 - 4.63)有关。在城市和郊区道路交通事故的人为因素中，不注意前方(78.84%比37.73%)和不让行(62.75%比32.31%)是造成死亡或伤害的人口归因比例最大的危险因素。结论:驾驶员不注意前方和不遵守先行权是导致伤亡事故的第一、第二位因素。建议加强相关法律法规的执行力度。
