최근 도입되고 있는 첨단 차량 장치는 교통 안전분야에서 중요한 이슈가 되어왔던 중대형 사고 위주의 자료수집, 사고 자료의 정확성과 같은 다양한 문제를 해결할 수 있는 대안으로 부각되고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 첨단 차량 장치의 하나인 차량 블랙박스 자료를 활용하여, 이륜차(two wheeler: TW) 즉, 자전거 혹은 오토바이와 택시간 사고 발생 시 이륜차 운전자의 사고 심각도를 분석하고자 하였다. 연구를 위해 인천시에서 2010년부터 2011년까지 영업용 택시 블랙박스에 기록된 택시-이륜차 사고 자료를 활용하였으며, 심각도 분석을 위해 순서형 프로빗 모형을 적용하였다. 결과적으로 기존 연구결과에서는 확인할 수 없는 새로운 심각도 요인이 발견되었다. 즉, 충돌 직전의 택시 속도가 높을수록, 택시 또는 이륜차의 파손이 발생한 경우, 사고 후 이륜차 운전자의 보행이 불가능할 경우, 그리고 1차 사고 후 이륜차 운전자가 2, 3차 충격으로 이어진 경우 사고 심각도는 더욱 높아지는 것으로 나타났다.

Objectives: This retrospective study aims to evaluate the prevalence of maxillofacial trauma in a developing country, along with its pattern, etiology and management. Data for the present study were collected from the Department of Dentistry, ESIC Medical College and Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Chennai in India. Materials and Methods: The medical records of patients treated for maxillofacial injuries between May 2014 and November 2015 were retrospectively retrieved and analyzed for prevalence, pattern, etiology, and management of maxillofacial trauma. SPSS software version 16.0 was used for the data analysis. Results: Maxillofacial fractures accounts for 93.3% of total injuries. The mean and standard deviation for the age of the patients were $35.0{\pm}11.8$ years and with a minimum age of 5 years and maximum age of 75 years. Adults from 20 to 40 years age groups were more commonly involved, with a male to female ratio of 3:1. There was a statistically significantly higher proportion of males more commonly involved in accident and injuries (P <0.001). Conclusion: The most common etiology of maxillofacial injury was road traffic accidents (RTA) followed by falls and assaults, the sports injuries seem to be very less. In RTA, motorized two-wheelers (MTW) were the most common cause of incidents. The majority of victims of RTA were young adult males between the ages of 20 to 40 years. The malar bone and maxilla were the most common sites of fracture, followed by the mandible. The right side of the zygomatic complex was the predominant side of MTW injury. The majority of the zygomatic complex fractures were treated by conservative management. Open reduction and internal fixation were performed for indicated fracture patients.
