The effectiveness of helmets in bicycle collisions with motor vehicles: A case-control study
There has been an ongoing debate in Australia and internationally regarding the effectiveness of bicycle helmets in preventing head injury. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of bicycle helmets in preventing head injury amongst cyclists in crashes involving motor vehicles, and to assess the impact of 'risky cycling behaviour' among helmeted and unhelmeted cyclists. This analysis invol...
متن کاملThe efficacy of bicycle helmets against brain injury.
An examination is made of a meta-analysis by Attewell, Glase and McFadden which concludes that bicycle helmets prevent serious injury, to the brain in particular, and that there is mounting scientific evidence of this. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) initiated and directed the meta-analysis of 16 observational studies dated 1987-1998. This examination concentrates on injury to the...
متن کاملNonuse of bicycle helmets and risk of fatal head injury: a proportional mortality, case-control study.
BACKGROUND The effectiveness of helmets at preventing cycling fatalities, a leading cause of death among young adults worldwide, is controversial, and safety regulations for cycling vary by jurisdiction. We sought to determine whether nonuse of helmets is associated with an increased risk of fatal head injury. METHODS We used a case-control design involving 129 fatalities using data from a co...
متن کاملBicycle helmets: lack of efficacy against brain injury.
This paper is a rebuttal of the criticism by Hagel and Pless of my 2005 article in which I dispute the conclusion of a Cochrane Collaboration review that all types of standard bicycle helmet protect against injury to the brain. The main ground of rebuttal is that my critics take the relevant efficacy of helmets as given and argue from there.
متن کاملBicycle helmets and injury prevention: A formal review
Australia is one of the few countries with current uniform helmet legislation (introduced in the early 1990s), but many cyclists continue to ride without head protection. Many peer-reviewed epidemiological studies published over the past decade have investigated the efficacy of helmets in preventing serious injury to bicycle riders involved in crashes. This report presents a formal summary quan...
