description This study presents an analysis of crash characteristics of motorcyclists who sustained spinal injuries in motorcycle crashes. The aim of the study is to identify the salient crash characteristics that would help explain spinal injury risks for motorcyclists. Data were retrospectively collected from police case reports that were archived at MIROS from year 2005 to 2007. The data were categorized into two subcategories; the first group was motorcycle crashes with spinal injury (case) and the second group was motorcycle crashes without spinal injury (control). A total of 363 motorcyclists with spinal injury and 873 motorcyclists without spinal injury were identified and analyzed. Descriptive analysis and multivariate analysis were performed in order to determine the odds of each characteristic in contributing to spinal injury. Single vehicle crash, collision with fixed objects and crash configuration were found to have significant influence on motorcyclists in sustaining spinal injury (p

Although relatively few than other impact configurations, the rear-end impacted motorcyclist shows the highest risk of spinal injury. Helmets have helped to reduce head injury but they did not seem to offer corresponding protection for the spine in the study. With a growing number of young motorcyclists, further efforts are needed to find effective measures to help reduce the crash incidents and severity of spinal injury. In sum, the study provides some insights on some vital crash characteristics associated with spinal injury that can be further investigated to determine the appropriate counter-measures and prevention strategies to reduce spinal injury.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0001-4575</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1879-2057</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1016/j.aap.2011.12.011</identifier><identifier>PMID: 23036400</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>England: Elsevier Ltd</publisher><subject>Accident analysis ; Accidents, Traffic - mortality ; Accidents, Traffic - statistics &amp; numerical data ; Adolescent ; Adult ; Aged ; Aged, 80 and over ; Case-Control Studies ; Crash characteristics ; Crashes ; Databases, Factual ; Female ; Head injuries ; Humans ; Logistic Models ; Malaysia - epidemiology ; Male ; Middle Aged ; Motorcycle crashes ; Motorcycles ; Motorcyclist injury ; Multivariate Analysis ; Odds Ratio ; Retrospective Studies ; Risk ; Risk Factors ; Spinal Cord Injuries - etiology ; Spinal Cord Injuries - mortality ; Spinal injuries ; Spinal Injuries - etiology ; Spinal Injuries - mortality ; Spinal injury ; Strategy ; Vehicles ; Young Adult</subject><ispartof>Accident analysis and prevention, 2012-11, Vol.49, p.237-244</ispartof><rights>2012 Elsevier Ltd</rights><rights>Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
