Psychometric Properties of EQ-5D-3L Applied through Phone Follow-Ups: An Experience in PERSIAN Traffic Cohort.

Objective: To assess psychometric properties of the European Quality of Life 5-Dimension 3-Level Version (EQ-5D-3L) commonly used tool for measuring road traffic injury (RTI) patients' quality of life.

Methods: The psychometric study assessed the reliability and applicability of EQ-5D-3L through phone surveys, based on a national cohort platform. Data of 150 RTI patients recruited from the cohort study were included as 50 patients per each follow-up phase (one, six, and twelve months after discharge).

Psychometric properties of the 12-item WHODAS applied through phone survey: an experience in PERSIAN Traffic Cohort.

Background: Due to limited capability to function in post-injury daily life injury, survivors need to be reliably assessed without need to commute more than necessary. The key action is to determine the level of functioning difficulties. Having the opportunity of conducting a national post-crash traffic safety and health cohort study, we aimed to translate into Persian and assess the psychometric properties of the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.

PERSIAN Traffic Safety and Health Cohort: a study protocol on postcrash mental and physical health consequences.

Background: Cohort studies play essential roles in assessing causality, appropriate interventions. The study, Post-crash Prospective Epidemiological Research Studies in IrAN Traffic Safety and Health Cohort, aims to investigate the common health consequences of road traffic injuries (RTIs) postcrash through multiple follow-ups.

Methods: This protocol study was designed to analyse human, vehicle and environmental factors as exposures relating to postcrash outcomes (injury, disability, death, property damage, quality of life, etc).

Analysis of Provincial Mortalities Among Bus/Minibus Users Over Twelve Years, East Azerbaijan, Iran.

The aim of this study was to investigate the epidemiological features of bus/minibus users' road traffic injury mortalities during 2006-2017, in the East Azerbaijan province of Iran. All 245 bus/minibus users' mortalities, registered in the forensic medicine database, were analyzed by STATA 13 statistical software package. The majority of victims (mean age: 41.

Evaluating the relationship between adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and riding behavior of motorcyclists.

Background: Motorcycling is one of the main causes of injury, and motorcyclists are vulnerable to road traffic injuries. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults is presumably one of the determinants of road traffic injuries and motorcyclists' risky behavior. Despite the few studies on the relationship between motorcycle injuries and adult ADHD, their association has not been investigated using standardized instruments.

Objective: To study the epidemiology of car user road traffic fatalities (CURTFs) during eight years, in East Azerbaijan, Iran.

Methods: A total of 3051 CURTFs registered in East Azerbaijan forensic medicine organization database, Iran, during 2006-2014, were analyzed using Stata 13 statistical software package. Descriptive statistics (<0.
