Abstract

Introduction

This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of electric-scooter (E-Scooter) injuries by evaluating the incidence, common mechanisms of injury, clinical outcomes, associated costs, and effective interventions for injury prevention.

Methods

A literature search using PubMed, Google Scholar, EMBASE, and ProQuest was performed to identify relevant articles published between July 10, 2014, and July 10, 2024. Outcomes of interest included epidemiologic trends of E-Scooter injuries, common mechanisms of injury, associated risk factors, clinical outcomes, and interventions to decrease E-Scooter injuries.

Results

A total of 41 articles were included in this study, with 39 evaluating the epidemiologic trends of e-scooter injuries, 22 the most common mechanisms of injury, 21 assessed intoxication, 15 assessed helmet usage, 33 determined patient's clinical outcomes, and 3 assessed effective interventions for decreasing the incidence of e-scooter injuries. Falls were the most common mechanism of injury; however, collisions with motor vehicles caused more severe injuries. Additionally, studies showed that up to 74 % of all E-Scooter injuries included alcohol intoxication, and over 80 % did not use a helmet leading to severe head injuries.

Conclusion

The incidence of E-Scooter related injuries rose significantly in recent years. These injuries typically result from falls and MVAs and are compounded by factors including limited helmet usage and riding while intoxicated. These contribute to the poorer clinical outcomes seen with E-Scooter injuries. However, there remains a significant paucity of literature focused on the outcomes of policies and interventions designed to reduce these injuries. Further investigation must address these gaps and discrepancies to inform future policies.

全面回顾电动摩托车相关伤害的当前趋势、相关结果和有效干预措施:建立可持续的预防干预措施
导言本综述旨在通过评估电动滑板车(E-Scooter)损伤的发生率、常见损伤机制、临床结果、相关成本以及预防损伤的有效干预措施,对电动滑板车损伤进行全面概述。方法使用PubMed、Google Scholar、EMBASE和ProQuest进行文献检索,以确定2014年7月10日至2024年7月10日期间发表的相关文章。结果本研究共收录了41篇文章,其中39篇评估了电动滑板车伤害的流行趋势,22篇评估了最常见的伤害机制,21篇评估了中毒情况,15篇评估了头盔的使用情况,33篇确定了患者的临床结果,3篇评估了降低电动滑板车伤害发生率的有效干预措施。摔倒是最常见的受伤机制;然而,与机动车辆相撞造成的伤害更为严重。此外,研究还表明,在所有电动滑板车伤害中,高达 74% 的伤害包括酒精中毒,超过 80% 的伤害没有使用头盔,导致头部严重受伤。这些伤害通常是由跌倒和车祸造成的,而头盔使用率低和醉酒骑车等因素则加剧了这些伤害。这些因素导致电动滑板车损伤的临床结果较差。然而,有关旨在减少此类伤害的政策和干预措施的结果的文献仍然非常缺乏。进一步的调查必须解决这些差距和差异,为未来的政策提供依据。
