Abstract:
To study the relationship between the position and the severity of injury and the rate of disbility in the road traffic accidents(RTA).3547 RTA cases occurred in the downtown area in Wuhan from 1997 to 1999 year were investigated and analyzed.1792(50 52%)cases with disability were assessed.The rates of disability caused by the peripheral nerve and ear injury were the highest,90 00% and 83 30%,respectively,while those caused by the soft tissue injury was the lowest.The rates of IX X and I V grade disablility were 78 74%,4 41%,respectively.Our study suggests that the rate of disability evaluation is not coincident with the position of injury.The degree of disability might be influenced directly by treatment.Degree of IX X grade of disability were the commonest,while the I V grade of disability was the least.Grade I disability was only seen in injury of brain and spinal cord.
