A comparison of TBI incidence in the Romagna region shows that there was no significant variation before and after introduction of the revised helmet law, except for TBI admissions for motorcycle-moped crashes where a 66% decrease was observed. In the same area TBI admissions by age group showed that motorcycle mopeds riders aged 14\u201360 years sustained significantly fewer TBIs. The rate of TBI admissions to neurosurgery decreased by over 31% and epidural hematomas almost completely disappeared in crash injured moped riders.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> The revised Italian mandatory helmet law, with police enforcement, is an effective measure for TBI prevention at all ages.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/ip.9.3.257","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,9,9]],"date-time":"2003-09-09T14:50:10Z","timestamp":1063119010000},"page":"257-260","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":118,"title":["Effect of Italy\u2019s motorcycle helmet law on traumatic brain injuries"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"F","family":"Servadei","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C","family":"Begliomini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E","family":"Gardini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M","family":"Giustini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"F","family":"Taggi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Kraus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2003,9,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025092504184049000_9.3.257.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"530","DOI":"10.1097\/00005373-198804000-00021","volume":"28","year":"1988","journal-title":"J Trauma"},{"key":"2025092504184049000_9.3.257.2","first-page":"50","volume":"55","year":"1995","journal-title":"Chin Med J"},{"key":"2025092504184049000_9.3.257.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0001-4575(94)90085-X"},{"key":"2025092504184049000_9.3.257.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"377","DOI":"10.3109\/09638289509166725","volume":"17","year":"1995","journal-title":"Disabil Rehabil"},{"key":"2025092504184049000_9.3.257.5","first-page":"161","volume":"64","year":"1983","journal-title":"S Afr Med J"},{"key":"2025092504184049000_9.3.257.6","first-page":"187","volume":"10","year":"1991","journal-title":"West Afr J Med"},{"key":"2025092504184049000_9.3.257.7","first-page":"577","volume":"151","year":"1985","journal-title":"Acta Chir Scand"},{"key":"2025092504184049000_9.3.257.8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0001-4575(95)00007-M"},{"key":"2025092504184049000_9.3.257.9","first-page":"182","volume":"i","year":"1988","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"2025092504184049000_9.3.257.10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1990.03450180059029"},{"key":"2025092504184049000_9.3.257.11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0001-4575(92)90051-J"},{"key":"2025092504184049000_9.3.257.12","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"513","DOI":"10.15288\/jsa.1995.56.513","volume":"56","year":"1995","journal-title":"J Studies Alcohol"},{"key":"2025092504184049000_9.3.257.13","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"172","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.81.2.172","volume":"81","year":"1991","journal-title":"Am J Public Health"},{"key":"2025092504184049000_9.3.257.14","first-page":"788","volume":"64","year":"1988","journal-title":"Bull N Y Acad Med"},{"key":"2025092504184049000_9.3.257.15","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"21","DOI":"10.1097\/00001199-199106000-00005","volume":"6","year":"1991","journal-title":"J Head Trauma Rehabil"},{"key":"2025092504184049000_9.3.257.16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0001-4575(93)90028-U"},{"key":"2025092504184049000_9.3.257.17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1994.03520190052034"},{"key":"2025092504184049000_9.3.257.18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.90.5.793"},{"key":"2025092504184049000_9.3.257.19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/ip.6.3.184"},{"key":"2025092504184049000_9.3.257.20","first-page":"297","volume":"71","year":"1980","journal-title":"Am J Public Health"},{"key":"2025092504184049000_9.3.257.21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0001-4575(88)90043-7"},{"key":"2025092504184049000_9.3.257.22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/eurpub\/12.2.99"},{"key":"2025092504184049000_9.3.257.23","unstructured":"Giustini M, Taggi F, and Gruppo.
