A1 - Rockett, Ian Richard Hildreth SP - 1516 EP - 1518 VL - 80 IS - 12 N2 - Population-based hospital emergency department data on motor vehicle traffic trauma in Rhode Island, 1984-85, are analyzed by age, sex, and road-use status. Annualized rates of overall and severe trauma were 1,195 cases (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1,164, 1,225) and 102 cases (95% CI = 94, 111) per 100,000 population, respectively. Overall and severe rates peaked at ages 15-24 years. Male rate excesses were most pronounced for motor-cycle and pedal cycle trauma. LA - SN - 0090-0036 UR - http://dx.doi.org/ ID - ref1 ER -
