Trajectories of health-related quality of life following road trauma: Latent growth mixture modeling across a 12-month cohort study.

Introduction: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) should be considered when evaluating the burden of road trauma (RT) injuries. This study aimed to identify distinct HRQoL trajectories following minor to severe RT injury and determine characteristics of trajectory membership.

Methods: This prospective inception cohort study recruited 1480 RT survivors from three emergency departments in British Columbia, Canada (July 2018 - March 2020).

Health-related quality of life in the year following road trauma: Longitudinal analysis using piecewise latent curve modeling.

Background: Road trauma (RT) survivors have reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL). We identified phases and predictors of HRQoL change following RT injury.

Methods: In a prospective cohort study of 1480 Canadian RT survivors aged 16 to 103 years (July 2018 - March 2020), physical component (PCS) and mental component (MCS) summary scores from the SF-12v2 were measured pre-injury and 2, 4, 6, and 12 months post-injury and their trajectories were analyzed with piecewise latent growth curve modeling.

Twelve-month recovery following road trauma: Results from an inception cohort in Vancouver, Canada.

Background: Injury-related disability following road trauma is a major public health concern. Unfortunately, outcome following road trauma and risk factors for poor recovery are inadequately studied, especially for road trauma survivors with minor injuries that do not require hospitalization.

Objectives: This manuscript reports 12-month recovery outcomes for a large cohort of road trauma survivors.

Circumstances and outcome of active transportation injuries: protocol of a British Columbian inception cohort study.

Introduction: Active transport (AT) is promoted by urban planners and health officials for its environmental, economic and societal benefits and its uptake is increasing. Unfortunately, AT users can be injured or killed due to falls or collisions. Active transport injury (ATI) prevention efforts are hindered by limited research on the circumstances, associated infrastructure, injury pattern, severity and outcome of ATI events.

Demographic and clinical profile of an inception cohort of road trauma survivors.

Background: Road trauma is a major public health concern, often resulting in reduced health-related quality of life and prolonged absenteeism from work even after so-called 'minor' injuries that do not result in hospitalization. This manuscript compares pre-injury health, sociodemographic characteristics and injury details between age, sex, and road user categories in a cohort of 1,480 road trauma survivors.

Methods: This was a prospective observational inception cohort study of road trauma survivors recruited between July 2018 and March 2020 from three trauma centres in British Columbia, Canada.
