Evolution of the risk of death and hospitalisation in drivers involved in road crashes in spain, 1993-2020: an age-period-cohort analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A prerequisite for understanding temporal changes in road crash severity is an unbiased description of this phenomenon. The aim of this study was to estimate the independent association trends of age, period and cohort with severity, encompassing the risk of death (RD) and the risk of death or hospitalisation (RDH) within 24 h, for drivers of passenger cars involved in road crashes with casualties in Spain from 1993 to 2020.

Methods

The study population comprised 2,453,911 drivers of passenger cars aged 18 to 98 years involved in road crashes included in the registers of the General Directorate of Traffic. Crash- and driver-related variables with sufficient continuity over time were included, establishing RD and RDH as study outcomes. Temporal trends of both outco
