최근 차량, 도로간 실시간 연결로 교통상황별 능동적 대응이 가능한 Cooperative-Intelligent Transport Systems(C-ITS) 기술에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 정부는 C-ITS 기술 개발 및 도입을 위해 다양한 연구를 진행하고 있다. 하지만 현재 C-ITS기술은 자동차를 대상으로 자동차 안전 및 경제적 운행을 위한 기술개발에 치중하고 있다. 자동차 이외에 도로 주행이 가능한 자전거를 위한 기술은 포함하지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 자전거 주행 시 위험요인과 사고요인 분석을 통해 C-ITS 환경에서 구현가능한 자전거 안전서비스를 도출한다. 자전거 및 이륜차 안전서비스 도출을 위하여 우선적으로 과거 2011~2013년 발생한 우리나라 과거 자전거 및 이륜차 교통사고 이력자료를 분석하여 관련 교통사고 특성 및 원인을 진단하였다. 자전거 및 이륜차 교통사고 이력자료 분석으로 파악된 주요 교통사고 특성에 효율적으로 대처하기 위한 서비스 도출을 위해 별도의 전문가 회의를 4회에 걸쳐 수행하였다. 이를 통해 자전거 및 이륜차 통합 안전 서비스 모델 8개를 도출하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 노인 운수사고 입원 환자의 운수사고 유형과 사망 사이의 연관성을 분석하여, 노인 운수사고 입원 및 사망 환자를 줄이기 위한 운수사고 유형에 따른 체계적이고 효과적인 정책 개발 및 수립에 기여하기 위함이다. 본 연구의 방법은 2013-2017년의 질병관리본부 퇴원손상심층조사 데이터세트 중 운수사고를 입은 노인 입원환자를 추출하여 기술통계분석, 카이제곱검정과 다중 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 인구사회학적, 의료기관, 의료이용 특성을 보정한 상태에서 분석한 결과 운수사고로 인한 노인의 입원 사망은 승용차 사고에 비하여 보행자 사고(OR : 2.522 95% CI 1.291-4.927), 자전거/카트 사고(OR : 2.809 95% CI 1.328-5.942), 오토바이 사고(OR : 2.330 95% CI 1.126-4.819)로 인한 사망이 각각 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다. 이와 같이 노인의 경우 승용차 사고로 인한 사망에 비하여 다른 유형의 운수사고로 인한 사망의 위험이 높지만, 우리나라 노인의 운수사고 관련 정책은 승용차 사고에 집중되어 있다. 따라서 증가하는 노인 집단의 운수사고 사망자를 줄이기 위하여 노인 집단의 운수사고 유형별 특성에 따른 효과적인 정책적 고려가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose: No previous study has assessed elderly pedestrian traffic accidents based on a nationwide database. This study aimed to help primary physicians who examine patients in emergency departments to determine and make prompt and accurate treatment decisions. Methods: This study used data from the Emergency Department-based Injury Indepth Surveillance from 2013 to 2017, managed by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Pedestrians aged ${\geq}65years$ were included, and using multivariate logistic regression multiple factors were analyzed to determine their relationship with injury severity. Results: Of 227,695 subjects, 6,498 were included, of whom 2,065 (31.8%) were severely injured. There were more female than male patients in all severity groups. Most accidents occurred in the afternoon and on general roads. In the multivariate analysis, the odds ratio (OR) of injury severity for male pedestrians was 1.165 (95% confidence interval: 1.034-1.313, p=0.012). Older age of patients and the use of ambulances were associated with greater injury severity. The accident time affected the degree of injury severity; i.e., compared to dawn, injury severity increased in the morning (OR: 1.246, p=0.047) and decreased at night (OR: 0.678, p<0.001). A significant difference was noted in the correlation between the type of vehicle causing the accident and the accident severity; i.e., motorcycle accidents had lower severity than bicycle accidents (OR: 0.582, p=0.047). Conclusions: Injury severity was correlated with sex, age, transportation to the ED, TA onset time, and type of vehicle. The study results suggest that injury severity may be positively reflected in initial assessments and overall integrated treatments by physicians and in the related policies.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the factors that contribute to head injuries among drivers of personal mobility devices and provide insights into safety perceptions. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data of 221 trauma patients obtained from electronic medical records and the National Emergency Department Information System (NEDIS) over one year, from August 1, 2021, to July 31, 2022. The patients, all in their 20s and 30s, presented to a single emergency medical center following personal mobility device accidents (motorcycles, electric scooters, and bicycles). Results: Among motorcycle riders, 18.2% were not wearing helmets, while the percentage of e-scooter riders not wearing helmets was 87.5%. Wearing a helmet was associated with a 71.2% lower likelihood of head injuries (OR=0.288, CI=0.163 to 0.509, p=0.000). Of the personal mobility devices, motorcycles had a 0.431 times lower odds ratio for head injury compared to e-scooters (p=0.009), and there was no significant difference between e-scooters and bicycles (p=0.776). Conclusion: It is imperative to strengthen safety regulations by mandating helmet use for riders of personal mobility devices. A system to enhance driving enforcement for electric scooters, which are increasingly popular among young adults, should also be established.

In adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder of no response to nonoperative treatment, an arthroscopic capsular release and manipulation improves range of motion and pain relief. We performed an arthroscopic examination in the stiff shoulder, of which she had no response to nonoperative treatment, after the conservative treatment of a clavicular shaft fracture by motorcycle-driver traffic accident. We found the intra-articular 'rotator interval bridging scar adhesion' between subscapularis tendon and antero-superior glenoid fossa under the rotator interval which was no adhesion and contracture itself. We performed the scar adhesion removal and synovectomy, maintaining the rotator interval. We recommended nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug for postoperative pain relief and continuous active and passive range of motion (ROM) exercise to gain motions. Preoperatively, active and passive range of motion were 70° for forward elevation, 60° for abduction and especially 0° for external rotation. After postoperative 2 months, active ROM were 150° for forward elevation, 130° for abduction and 80° for external rotation. After postoperative 6 months, passive and active ROM were full. UCLA score improved from preoperative 9 points to postoperative 29 points.
