TY - JOUR PY - 1987// TI - Incidence, severity, and outcomes of brain injuries involving bicycles JO - American journal of public health A1 - Conroy, Carol A1 - Fife, D. A1 - Kraus, Jess Frank SP - 76 EP - 78 VL - 77 IS - 1 N2 - We performed a population-based study of bicycle-related brain injuries in San Diego, California, residents during 1981. Incidence rates among males were three times higher than for females and were highest at ages 10-14 years for males. Only one-third of bicycle-related brain injuries involved collision with a motor vehicle, and this proportion was independent of age or gender. Brain injuries from motor-vehicle collisions were more severe than those resulting from other causes. Over half the brain-injured bicyclists aged 15 and older who were blood alcohol tested were legally intoxicated. LA - SN - 0090-0036 UR - http://dx.doi.org/ ID - ref1 ER -
