概要 | Background: Kazakhstan, a developing middle-income country, has the highest road traffic collision (RTC) mortality in the European Region. Aim: To determine epidemiology and main characteristics of road traffic fatalities in Semey region, Kazakhstan; to compare findings with National data and middle-income European countries.Materials and Methods: This descriptive, retrospective study assesses RTC mortality rates and epidemiology in the Semey Region of East Kazakhstan Oblast. Data of 318 road traffic fatalities were analyzed for the 5-year period of January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2010.Results: Over the study period, the average road traffic mortality in the Semey Region was 12.1 per 100,000 population with downward trend by 35.1% (p=0.002). The victims mean age was 37.1 years. Males predominated at 74.5%. Vehicle fatality was the most common mode of fatality at 61.3%. The majority of collisions, 53.1%,occurred on highways. Most victims, 67.3%, have died at the scene of collision; in 67.3% of fatalities, autopsies identified multiple injuries as cause of death. The high number of fatal collisions took place in “no snow” season (p<0.001), with an overall 5-years downward dynamic.Conclusion: Lower road traffic mortality and prominent seasonality in Semey region comparatively to National level; higher proportion of males, pedestrians and car occupants among road traffic fatalities; high proportion of death on scene in case of highway collisions comparatively to middle-income European countries - are specific for Semey region, Kazakhstan. These data could be useful for determining of risk factors in development of road safety policy framework in Kazakhstan. |
