摘要: Data from the Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) and London's Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) were used to determine most frequent injuries received by pedestrians in traffic accidents. The cost of different was estimated using a model based on pedestrians' duration stay intensive care and/or standard hospital wards information recorded HEMS. These costs weighted national HES dataset. This showed that lower limbs cumulatively more than any other body region. However, list ten costly individual split between head limb injuries. For covering abstract see ITRD E143807.
