While health loss from road injuries is a major topic of global importance, there has been no recent comprehensive assessment that includes estimates for every age group, sex and country over recent years.<h4>Methods</h4>We used results from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2017 study to report incidence, prevalence, years lived with disability, deaths, years of life lost and disability-adjusted life years for all locations in the GBD 2017 hierarchy from 1990 to 2017 for road injuries. Second, we measured mortality-to-incidence ratios by location. Third, we assessed the distribution of the natures of injury (eg, traumatic brain injury) that result from each roInjury prevention : journal of the International Society for Child and Adolescent Injury PreventionMorbidity and mortality from road injuries: results from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017.PMC7571357201900/Z/16/ZOPP1152504201900Mohammadibakhsh RTopor-Madry RAljunid SMLa Vecchia CSylte DONyasulu PSSalehi FMerie HESharafi ZYaya SKelbore AGMemiah PTNOnwujekwe OEMengesha MMNascimento BRMokdad AHYaseri MPourmirza Kalhori RFox JTHay SIMohammad Gholi Mezerji NYounis MZGelaw BKKarami MHidru HLucchesi LRMcCracken DBekru ETHenok AOmar Bali AHu GNixon MRDingels ZVRoberts NLSAdebayo OMLinn SJames SLR Miller TMohammad Darwesh ASobhiyeh MRWiangkham TAghamolaei TTefera YMFatahi YShamsizadeh MNikbakhsh RMusa KILiu ZCastle CDJakovljevic MKim YJTabares-Seisdedos RChapman JRSykes BLMajdzadeh RShahabi STlou BSoriano JBHosseinzadeh MBehzadifar MHendrie DTadesse DBBAlghnam SAKhan MNDeribe KReiner RCHamilton EBShukla SRKoul PAPati SPigott DMMehndiratta MMJahani MABisignano CTehrani-Banihashemi ABadawi AJalilian FLopez ADAlmasi-Hashiani AMoodley YYenesew MABennett DAZodpey SJoseph NZiapour ADuko Adema BGetahun EAMirzaei-Alavijeh MMoradi-Lakeh MShallo SAfalseMorbidity and mortality from road injuries: results from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017.<h4>Background</h4>The global burden of road injuries is known to follow complex geographical, temporal and demographic patterns.
