The article is devoted to the study of the implementation of the global goals of the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011–2020 in Ukraine. It is stated that the precondition for the adoption of the UN General Assembly resolution № 64/2551, which proclaimed the Decade, was that according to the analysis, almost 1.3 million people are victims of road accidents every year, and its goal is to reduce mortality from Accidents by 50 percent by 2020. The key elements of the activities of national and local government bodies proposed by the Global Plan for the Decade have been identified. An analysis of the dynamics of road traffic injuries in Ukraine for 2010–2020. The influence of the measures introduced by the state on the state of road traffic injuries is investigated and the real indicators of mortality and injuries on the highways of Ukraine are determined. It is established that the mortality rate from road accidents in Ukraine during the Decade decreased by 27.4 %, and during the implementation of the Strategy to increase road safety in Ukraine until 2020 managed to reduce mortality on Ukrainian roads by only 11.5 %. The ambitious goal of the State Program to increase the level of road safety in Ukraine for the period up to 2020 – reducing the number of deaths due to road accidents to 4 people per 100 thousand population – also failed to be achieved. Given the steady decline in the population of Ukraine, this figure is 11.7 deaths in road accidents per 100 thousand population in 2020. It is proved that the measures taken do not fully correspond to the content of strategic decisions taken at the international level. The results of the state initiatives introduced in Ukraine, although outlined the tendency to stabilize road traffic injuries, did not provide even the average European level of dynamics of reducing accidents on highways. The Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011–2020 and the goals of sustainable development, apparently significantly influenced countries that take measures, so they need to be continued until 2030 to maintain the current level of awareness.

AbstractRoad traffic injuries are the leading cause of child mortality in Poland, resulting in more deaths than cancer or birth defects. We present the main problems of road safety and the nature of the causes and consequences of accidents among children based on the World Health Organization Report. Children injuries are one of the main problems in modern medicine requiring vigorous and preventive actions. Children of all ages should be intensively involved in the educational activities related to road safety. Raising awareness concerning the risks associated with children’s participation in traffic as well as the awareness of parents and carers can greatly reduce the number of accidents.

The goal of this study was to analyze the changes in mortality trends of road traffic injuries for the whole population in transitional Lithuania over 1971 to 2014. Special attention was paid to the potential effect of the activities at macro and micro-level, and the socio-economic changes after the Independence in 1991. The data were derived from the Department of Statistics for the Government of the Republic of Lithuania, the Archives of Health Information Centre, and the Institute of Hygiene in Lithuania. The numbers have been based on the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) of the World Health Organization (WHO). Trends were estimated by the use of logarithmic regression. During the study, trends before the Independence in 1991 and after the Independence were compared. The study revealed that during the 44-year study period, a total of 38,982 people died from road traffic injuries in Lithuania. Men deceased 3.2 times more than that of women. About 40% of those killed in road traffic crashes were pedestrians. The mortality rates of road traffic injuries showed no significant change over the pre-independence period (1971- 1991) for the whole group. However, during the post-independence period (1992-2014), the mortality rates of road traffic injuries in the country significantly decreased for the whole population. Before the Independence (1971-1991), no change was presented nor in men and nor in women subgroups, whereas after the Independence (1992-2014), road traffic injury deaths fell significantly in both sexes. In addition, over the post-independence period, a significant decrease in pedestrian mortality trends for the whole population, and in men and women subgroups was observed. The study confirmed that sustainable preventive measures at macro and micro levels had possible impact on fatal road traffic injuries in the country. Socioeconomic changes, political reforms, education activities, safe environment creation, legislation, and improved healthcare seem to have contributed to the significant decrease of fatal road traffic injuries in transitional Lithuania. Continuous and permanent injury prevention and road safety promotion work is recommended for road safety management.

Retrospective Medical Record Review

In the ongoing Second Decade of Action for Road Safety, road traffic crashes pose a considerable threat especially in low-income countries. Uganda shows a vast burden of non-fatal injuries and resides at the top range of countries with the highest death rates due to unsafe roads. However, little is known about the differences in road traffic associated injuries between urban and rural areas and potential influence factors. Here, we used a cross-sectional study conducted by a retrospective medical record review from trauma cases admitted in 2016 to hospitals in rural and urban areas in Uganda. Injury severity scores were calculated and descriptive analysis was carried out while multivariate logistic regression was applied to assess significant covariates. According to the 1683 medical records reviewed, the mean age of trauma patients in the dataset under investigation was 30.8 years with 74% male. The trauma in-hospital mortality was 4% while prevalence of traumatic injuries is 56.4%. Motorcycle users (49.6%) and pedestrians (33.7%) were identified as the most vulnerable groups in both urban and rural setting while mild injuries of extremities (61.6%) and the head/neck-region (42.0%) were registered most. The frequency of road traffic injuries was homogenous in the urban and rural hospitals investigated in this study; interventions should therefore be intensified ubiquitously. The identification of significant differences in road traffic crash and injury characteristics provides the opportunity for specific programmes to decrease the socio-economic and health burden of unsafe roads. In addition to law enforcement and introduction of a Systems Thinking approach to road safety including infrastructural and educational concepts, the strengthening of trauma care and health resources is recommended.
