TY - JOUR PY - 2009// TI - Helmet usage in motorcycle-related neurotrauma JO - British journal of neurosurgery A1 - Rabiu, Taopheeq Bamidele A1 - Adeleye, Amos Olufemi SP - 637 EP - 638 VL - 23 IS - 6 N2 - Motorcycles provide important means of transportation for humans and goods especially in developing economies. The authors observe that Murphy and his colleagues aptly illustrate the burden of motorcycles on national healthcare systems but did not present clear data relating to the effect of helmet use in reducing the severity of head injury by motorcyclists, as well as supportive data for the promotion of Ireland's SHARP guidelines. Controlled studies to assess the effectiveness of different helmets are advocated.
