abstract="OBJECTIVE: To estimate injuries attributable to personal, environmental, and vehicle-related factors among drivers involved in road accidents in the province of Udine. DESIGN: Analysis of data contained in the ISTAT road accident reports. SETTING: Road traffic accidents with personal damage that occurred in the province of Udine from 1991 to 1998. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Fractions of injuries and deaths attributable to various risk factors. RESULTS: From 1991 to 1998, 24261 drivers were involved in accidents: 462% were uninjured, 51.8% were non-fatally injured, and 2.0% died within 7 days. The greatest proportion of injuries (10.59%) was attributed to being on a two-wheeled vehicle. On the other hand, with respect to death the highest proportion of cases was attributed to driving during the night (29.19%) and to non-using seat belts and helmets (26.30%). CONCLUSIONS: This study provides information useful for establishing priorities for the prevention of road accidents and injuries.",
