The aims of this study were to identify subgroups of motorcyclists with a higher accident risk and evaluate the efficiency of protective clothing for preventing injuries.<jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. A 1-year prospective study of motorcycle crashes was conducted beginning in June 2012. Participants were patients involved in motorcycle crashes and admitted to our emergency department.<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. A total of 226 patients were included in the study. In total, 174 patients were involved in crashes with light motorcycles. Patients involved in a motorcycle accident without a helmet had a higher incidence of head and maxillofacial trauma. Motorcycle jackets were not protective for systemic injuries (<mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\"><mml:mi>P<\/mml:mi><mml:mo>&gt;<\/mml:mo><mml:mn>0.05<\/mml:mn><\/mml:math>) or upper extremity fractures (<mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M2\"><mml:mi>P<\/mml:mi><mml:mo>&gt;<\/mml:mo><mml:mn>0.05<\/mml:mn><\/mml:math>).

Riders of heavy motorcycles rode more safely than riders of light motorcycles. Light motorcycle riders were the most vulnerable and comprised the largest percentage of motorcyclists. Helmets may be effective for preventing head and facial injuries. Other protective clothes were not effective against fractures or systemic injuries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2013\/760205","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,11,17]],"date-time":"2013-11-17T21:08:27Z","timestamp":1384722507000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Roles of Motorcycle Type and Protective Clothing in Motorcycle Crash Injuries"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2013","author":[{"given":"Mehmet Ozg\u00fcr","family":"Erdogan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, Haydarpasa Numune Training and Research Hospital, 34710 Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ozgur","family":"Sogut","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, Bezmialem University Hospital, 34098 Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sahin","family":"Colak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, Haydarpasa Numune Training and Research Hospital, 34710 Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Harun","family":"Ayhan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, Haydarpasa Numune Training and Research Hospital, 34710 Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mustafa Ahmet","family":"Afacan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, Haydarpasa Numune Training and Research Hospital, 34710 Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dilay","family":"Satilmis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, Haydarpasa Numune Training and Research Hospital, 34710 Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"98","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.aap.2011.04.027"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.aap.2011.09.051"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5505\/tjtes.2013.74501"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4170\/jaem.2009.54254"},{"issue":"3","key":"5","first-page":"216","volume":"6","year":"2000","journal-title":"Turkish Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery"},{"issue":"3","key":"6","first-page":"263","volume":"38","year":"2008","journal-title":"Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences"},{"key":"7","first-page":"112","volume":"10","year":"2010","journal-title":"Turkish Journal of Emergency Medicine"},{"key":"8","first-page":"106","volume":"42","year":"2008","journal-title":"Acta Orthopaedica et Traumatologica Turcica Journal"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.aap.2010.12.018"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.injury.2010.08.030"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jsr.2010.10.005"},{"key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/SCS.0b013e318163f94d"},{"key":"13","first-page":"1010","volume":"42","year":"2012","journal-title":"Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences"},{"key":"14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/TA.0b013e318182f76b"},{"key":"15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/TA.0b013e31815644cd"},{"key":"16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/14651858.CD004333.pub3"},{"issue":"3","key":"17","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"134","DOI":"10.1249\/00149619-200406000-00005","volume":"3","year":"2004","journal-title":"Current Sports Medicine Reports"}],"container-title":["Emergency Medicine International"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/emi\/2013\/760205.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/emi\/2013\/760205.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/emi\/2013\/760205.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,22]],"date-time":"2017-06-22T02:11:31Z","timestamp":1498097491000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/emi\/2013\/760205\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013]]},"references-count":17,"alternative-id":["760205","760205"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2013\/760205","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-2840","2090-2859"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2090-2840","type":"print"},{"value":"2090-2859","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013]]}}}
