When Pedestrian Crossings Become Danger Zones
In our study, the impact of pedestrian crossing accidents was more severe in the elderly, as indicated by the severity of injuries, hospitalisation rate, longer length of hospital and ICU stays, and higher mortality rates. These findings underline the importance of developing tailored strategies to reduce crosswalk accidents and to optimise management approaches for these vulnerable patients
Gender-Specific Patterns of Injury in Older Adults After a Fall from a Four-Wheeled Walker (Rollator)
Women were more frequently affected by falls related to rollators than men. Most falls occurred at home, in nursing care facilities, or rehabilitation centres, with no significant gender-based differences. There was a trend toward more head injuries in males, while the cumulative fracture rate of the pelvis, upper extremities, and lower extremities was significantly higher in females. In-hospital mortality was more than four times higher in men. …
Work-Related Injuries among Insured Construction Workers Presenting to a Swiss Adult Emergency Department
Occupational injuries are one of the main causes of Emergency Department visits and represent a substantial source of disability or even death. However, the published studies and reports on construction-occupational accidents in Switzerland are limited. We aimed to investigate the epidemiology of fatal and non-fatal injuries among construction workers older than 16 years of age over a 5-year period. Data were gathered from the emergency departmen…
Trampolining Accidents in an Adult Emergency Department
Over the last two decades, trampoline-related injuries have become more common in patients older than 16 years of age. These are most common in the lower extremities. While most of the patients in the present study only suffered minor injuries, the occasional severe injury might result in long-term disability. As trampoline-related injuries in adults are becoming more common, prevention strategies in public education and safety instructions must …
