Brief Summary:

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the risk, consequences and epidemiology of electric scooter accidents admitted to the emergency room at St. Pierre University Hospital.

This prospective observational study aims to include any patient admitted to the Adult Emergency Department of St.Pierre University Hospital Brussels following an accident related to the use of an electric scooter in order to describe and understand the epidemiology, complications and treatment of injuries associated with this means of transport.

It is intended to include all accidents occurring in the emergency room during the period from 01/06/2019 to 30/06/2020.

Traumatic Injury Accidental Injury Alcohol Drinking Traffic Accident Emergencies

Detailed Description:

All patients over the age of 16 years with traumatic injuries due to an accident related to the use of an electric scooter were included in the study.

Upon admission to the Emergency Department, patients over 16 years of age who accepted were included in the study. The objectives of the study were firstly to describe the context and incidence of scooter accidents, and secondly to understand the epidemiology, complications and treatment of injuries associated with this means of transport and finally, to estimate the economic impact assessed by the number of days of post-traumatic work disability, the need for access to more specialised and therefore more expensive care (operating theatre interventions, scanner-type radiological examinations or hospitalisation in intensive care units).

The data analyzed were based on :

1) the time and day of the accident, 2) the time of presentation at the hospital (same day or after the accident), 3) the mechanism of the accident, whether there were one or two people on the scooter, 4) the use or non-use of the protective helmet, 5) the influence of alcohol ; 6) the mode of arrival at the emergency room (type of ambulance or by one's own means); 7) the injury assessment, paraclinical examinations; 8) treatments; 9) hospitalization or not; 10) temporary work interruptions .
