摘要

道路交通事故(RTC)是造成全球以及阿拉伯联合酋长国(UAE)儿童死亡、发病和残疾的主要原因。虽然在发达国家和阿联酋,卷入道路交通事故的儿童大多是乘车儿童,但与乘车儿童相比,易受伤害的道路使用者(VRU)儿童由于缺乏保护而受到的伤害通常更为严重。众所周知,这种伤害会给儿童带来长期的痛苦,在某些情况下还会导致残疾,从而给公众健康造成严重的负担和经济损失。然而,尽管涉及 RTC 的儿童 VRU 所受的伤害非常严重,但阿联酋的研究大多集中在儿童和成人的车辆乘员上。据我们所知,这是阿联酋首次对儿童 VRU RTC 伤害进行专门研究。此外,阿联酋政府正在儿童中推广积极的交通政策,以遏制儿童肥胖症。因此,本研究探讨了导致阿联酋儿童 VRU RTC 受伤严重程度的因素。本研究的结果将有助于提高儿童 VRU RTC 损伤的安全结果,并为该国儿童的安全主动交通提供政策建议。

Child vulnerable road user crash injury severity

Road traffic crashes (RTC) are the main cause of mortality, morbidity, and disability for children globally as well as in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Although vehicle occupants usually account for the majority of children involved in RTC in developed countries and in the UAE, injuries sustained by child vulnerable road users (VRUs) are usually more severe due to their lack of protection compared to child occupants. Such injuries are known to result in long-term suffering for children including disabilities in some cases, thereby posing a severe public health burden and economic losses to the population. However, despite the severity of injuries to child VRUs involved in RTC, studies in the UAE have mostly focused on vehicle occupants for both children and adults. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first dedicated study on child VRU RTC injuries in the UAE. Additionally, the UAE government is promoting an active transportation policy among children in a bid to curb childhood obesity. Hence, this study examined the factors contributing to RTC injury severity for child VRUs in the UAE. The results of this study will help in enhancing the safety outcomes of child VRU RTC injuries as well as providing policy recommendations for safe active transport among children in the country.
