Abstract

Objective: To investigate the quality of life (QOL) of injured motorcyclists and associated factors in a period of three months after the accident.

Methods: In the present study, we were included 190 injured motorcyclists who admitted to two referral specialized hospitals (Emam Reza and Shohada) in Tabriz, between June 2018 and January 2019. All injured motorcyclists were contacted through the telephone one and 171 of them (90%) three months after their accident to complete an EQ-5D-3L questionnaire. The baseline measurements were gathered by using face to face interviews in the hospitals. The QOL score could vary between 1 and 3. The higher score showed a lower QOL.

Results: The injured motorcyclist's QOL score was relatively better in three months after the accident (mean±Standard Deviation (SD): 1.78±0.51) in comparison with their status a month after the accident (2.15±0.65) (p<0.001). The multivariable model showed that individuals with pelvis injuries (Coef: 0.29, (95% CI: 0.16, 0.42), p=0.001) and knee injuries (Coef: 0.26, (95% CI: 0.10, 0.42), p=0.001), experienced a higher QOL score. Also, those whose accident had happened in rainy weather experienced higher QOL score (Coef: 0.33, (95% CI: 0.12, 0.53), p=0.001). The patients who were in an accident with a vehicle were experienced a better QOL than others (Coef: -0.26, (95% CI: -0.43, -0.09), p=0.002).

Conclusion: The assessment of three-months post-accident showed that the QOL score of the motorcyclists was reduced. It is recommended that the QOL of patients should be improved in hospital discharge victims.

伊朗西北部摩托车交通伤害后的生活质量:一项队列研究

目的:探讨摩托车手受伤后3个月内的生活质量及相关因素。方法:在本研究中，我们纳入了2018年6月至2019年1月期间入住大不里士两家转诊专科医院(Emam Reza和Shohada)的190名受伤摩托车手。所有受伤的摩托车手在事故发生三个月后通过电话联系，其中171人(90%)完成EQ-5D-3L问卷。基线测量是通过在医院面对面访谈收集的。生活质量评分可能在1到3之间变化。得分越高，生活质量越低。结果:摩托车损伤患者在事故发生后3个月的生活质量评分(均数±标准差(SD): 1.78±0.51)较事故发生后1个月的生活质量评分(2.15±0.65)(pp=0.001)和膝关节损伤患者(Coef: 0.26， (95% CI: 0.10, 0.42)， p=0.001)明显提高。在阴雨天气发生事故的患者生活质量评分较高(Coef: 0.33， (95% CI: 0.12, 0.53)， p=0.001)。发生车辆事故的患者生活质量优于其他患者(Coef: -0.26， (95% CI: -0.43， -0.09)， p=0.002)。结论:事故发生后3个月的评估显示，摩托车手的生活质量评分有所下降。建议提高出院患者的生活质量。
