Demographics, road user type, counterpart vehicle, intent, manner and medical cause of death were recorded.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Mortuary admissions included 80 fatal RTI cases: 81.3% males. By road user category, 28 (35.0%) were pedestrians; 28 (35.0%) motorised 2-wheeler users; 18.8% car occupants; and 11.3% bus occupants. In 70% of cases, medical cause of death was head injury, including 25 of 28 motorised 2-wheeler users (89.3%). Estimates from this study indicate apparent increased mortuary capture of fatal RTI compared with police data.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study demonstrates the feasibility of collecting detailed, timely RTI fatality data through mortuary-based surveillance in Ibadan. While not all RTI deaths are reported to any authority in Ibadan, this large case series complements existing data sources and suggests that pedestrians and motorised 2-wheeler users die most often in road traffic crashes. Frequent head injuries among motorised 2-wheeler users strongly support the need for helmet wearing interventions.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/injuryprev-2012-040674","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,3,15]],"date-time":"2013-03-15T06:25:05Z","timestamp":1363328705000},"page":"387-392","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Fatal road traffic injuries in Ibadan, using the mortuary as a data source"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Uwom O","family":"Eze","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chebiwot Caroline","family":"Kipsaina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forensic Medicine, Monash University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joan","family":"Ozanne-Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forensic Medicine, Monash University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,3,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025092505205447000_19.6.387.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pmed.0030442"},{"key":"2025092505205447000_19.6.387.2","first-page":"171","article-title":"Counting the dead and what they died of: an assessment of the global status of causes of death data","volume":"83","author":"Mathers","year":"2005","journal-title":"Bull World Health Organ"},{"key":"2025092505205447000_19.6.387.3","unstructured":"Peden M Scurfield R Sleet D .
