The aim of this study was to assess the management and outcome of Traumatic brain injury patients at a tertiary level health...

Poisson regression and negative binomial regression have been widely used to model the road crashes and to predict crash frequency. Zero inflated models have been shown to be a powerful tool to predict crash frequency when crash data are characterized by preponderance of zero. This paper presents the research work aiming to correlate the road traffic crash rate with road geometry and traffic ch...

BACKGROUND Road traffic crashes are considered by the WHO to be the most important global cause of death from injury. However, this may not be true for large areas of rural Asia where road vehicles are uncommon. The issue is important, since emphasising the importance of road traffic crashes risks switching resources to urban areas, away from already underfunded rural regions. In this study, we...
