Background and purpose: Road traffic injuries pose a global public health challenge. This study aimed to determine the epidemiological trend and factors affecting traffic accidents in emergency medical services within the Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences jurisdiction between June 2021 and January 2024.
Materials and methods: This analytical epidemiological study employed a cross-sectional, retrospective design, conducted within the pre-hospital emergency medical services of Mazandaran Medical Sciences University between June 2021 and January 2024. Descriptive and inferential statistical methods were used for data analysis. The Chi-square test and multiple logistic regression model were used to investigate factors associated with fatalities (such as age, gender, time of the incident, and patient status). All data were analyzed using SPSS version 27. Odds Ratios (OR) and P-values were reported. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05.
Results: This study collected and analyzed data from 83,973 emergency medical service calls in Mazandaran during the specified period. Of these calls, 62,316 victims were male (74.2%), and the rest were female. The mean age of the injured was 32.02 years. The highest number of calls concerned the young adult age group of 17-39 years (48.5%), and the lowest frequency was observed in individuals aged 85 years and older (0.2%). Traffic accident fatalities were associated with male gender, older age (≥85 years), incidents occurring at night (12:00 AM to 6:00 AM), and patient status (vehicle occupants).
Conclusion: The findings indicate that traffic accidents in this region remain a serious public health problem requiring special attention. Based on these findings, implementing targeted preventive interventions to reduce mortality in high-risk groups (young men, car and motorcycle drivers) and during high-risk times (nights, summer) is essential.
