Motorcycle road traffic accidents (RTA) constitute an increasing public health challenge with victims more likely to sustain fatal injuries compared with other types of RTA. The aim of this study was to analyze motorcycle RTA-related morbidity and mortality among victims admitted to hospitals in Guinea from 2015 to 2017. <jats:italic>Materials and Methods<\/jats:italic>. This was a cross-sectional study based on hospital records from six districts (Bok\u00e9, Kindia, Mamou, Faranah, N\u2019Z\u00e9r\u00e9kor\u00e9, and Siguiri) from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2017. Bivariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were used to explore associations between RTA types and mortality. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. There were 14,962 RTA victims with motorcycle RTA accounting for 58.3% and other RTA 45.3% of hospital admissions. Overall, motorcycle RTA accounted for 77.7%, with young adults (96.2%) and males (73.5%) more affected when compared to victims of other types of RTA. Median age of motorcycle RTA victims was 23 years (IQR: 17\u201333 years). Students (29.7%), employees (23.6%), and farmers\/housewives (23.3%) were the commonest groups affected by motorcycle RTA. The highest burden of motorcycle RTA occurred in the mining zones (Bok\u00e9 and Siguiri). Wounds (39.2% and 27.3%) and multiple injuries (43.8% and 43.8%) were the commonest types of injury sustained by victims of both motorcycle and other types of RTA, respectively. Motorcycle RTA accounted for 54% of overall deaths. Using multivariate logistic regression analysis, sustaining a motorcycle RTA in N\u2019Z\u00e9r\u00e9kor\u00e9 (AOR: 4.2; 95% CI: 1.6\u201311.2) and being admitted with mild (AOR: 7.4; 95% CI 2.1\u201325.8) and heavy or deep coma (AOR: 776.1; 95% CI: 340.2\u20131770.7) were significantly associated with mortality. <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>. Motorcycle RTA are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in Guinea. Males, young adult users, students, employees, and people from mining zones are the most affected. Better law enforcement and awareness raising among Guinean young adults are promising prevention strategies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2020\/1506148","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,22]],"date-time":"2020-06-22T23:31:13Z","timestamp":1592868673000},"page":"1-7","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Motorcycle
