abstract="Multiple studies have addressed the effect of airbags on injury and mortality after motor vehicle collision with discrepant results (Table 1). Although large, population-based studies have minimized the protective effect of airbags, the most recent studies examining airbags have shown a decrease in injury and death, with the greatest protective effect seen when they are used in conjunction with seatbelts. Optimal restraint use is also associated with a decrease in infectious morbidity and hospital resource utilization. The widespread use of seatbelts and airbags will continue to save lives and decrease morbidity after motor vehicle collision.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
