Analysis of 3 648 cases of traffic injury in Macau Kiangwu Hospital

Objective To study the epidemiological characteristics of traffic injuries in Macau. Methods The study retrospectively analyzed 3 648 cases with traffic injury between Janury 1994 and December 1998 in Macau Kiangwu Hospital. Results There were 3 642 cases of traffic accidents, 6 of which resulted in death. Cars and motorcycles were the main vehicles for casualties. The colliding of pedestrians with motor vehicles was the main cause for traffic wounds, which was accounting for 51.8%. In children, it was 46.4%. Most patients were with slight traffic injuries, 85.3% of which were from abrasion, contusion and laceration. About 85.9% of total only needed ambulatory treatment. Among the pedestrians' injuries caused by motor vehicles, 11.0% were from trampling feet by vehicle wheels. The colliding of the vehicle doors which were opened in a sudden after stop with moving motorcycles resulted in the injury of drivers and passengers. Such colliding accounted for 11.6% compared with other colliding types of notorcycles with motor vehicles. As for the time, in a day, the peak of traffic accidents appeared at noon and at 17:00 in the afternoon. But in a week, it was on Friday. However, the traffic accidents were reduced significantly in Spring Festival and Summer Holiday. Conclusions The dense population and the crowded traffic are the important factors leading to traffic accidents in Macau. It is necessary to pay more attention to traffic safety of pedestrians, especially of children. To develop the three dimensional traffic is one of the ways to reduce the traffic accidents.
