Overview

Retrospective observational study characterizes injury patterns and costs following cycling accidents in adults, indicating severity impacts costs and helmet use effects.

Key Points

  • The aim is to characterize cycling injuries at a trauma center, focusing on injury patterns, severity, and associated costs.
  • Retrospective observational study on hospitalized patients over 15 years after cycling accidents.
  • Data collected included accident characteristics, injury types, severity scores, and associated costs.
  • Injury severity was assessed using the Abbreviated Injury Scale and Injury Severity Score.
  • 131 patients included; average age 43.2 years, 90.8% male.
  • Upper limb fractures were most common (31.0%); 30.0% had traumatic brain injury (TBI).
  • Average hospital cost per patient was €8545, significantly increasing with injury severity and TBI.
