Clinicians need more information to be prepared for these patients. We supposed two prevalent patterns of patients: mildly injured (predominant upper-limb injuries) and severely injured (predominant head trauma). This study aims to understand the frequency of ES-related injuries and patients\u2019 characteristics despite the heterogeneity of data currently available. A systematic review with a proportion meta-analysis was conducted on studies with a multidisciplinary description of ES-related injuries in adult patients (PROSPERO-ID: CRD42022341241). Articles from inception to April 2023 were identified in MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane\u2019s databases. The risk of bias was evaluated using ROBINS-I. Twenty-five observational studies with 5387 patients were included in the meta-analysis, depending on reported data. Upper-limb (31.8%) and head (19.5%) injuries are the most frequent (25\/25 studies included). When injured while riding, 19.5% of patients are intoxicated with drugs\/alcohol, and only 3.9% use a helmet, increasing the possibility of severe injuries. About 80% of patients are victims of spontaneous falls. Half of the patients self-present to the ED, and 69.4% of cases are discharged directly from the ED. Studies\u2019 limitations include an overall moderate risk of bias and high heterogeneity. Electric scooter-related accidents are commonly associated with upper-limb injuries but often involve the head. Spontaneous falls are the most common mechanism of injury, probably related to frequent substance abuse and helmet misuse. This hot topic is not adequately investigated due to a lack of data. A prospective registry could fill this gap.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00031348241241682","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,27]],"date-time":"2024-03-27T00:20:00Z","timestamp":1711498800000},"page":"1702-1713","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Injury Patterns of Electric-Scooter Related Trauma: A Systematic Review With Proportion Meta-Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"90","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7058-5089","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrea","family":"Spota","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Acute care surgery and trauma, ASST GOM Niguarda, Milan, Italy"},{"name":"Tissue Bank and Therapy, ASST GOM Niguarda, Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9167-3400","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stefano","family":"Granieri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"General Surgery Unit, ASST-Brianza, Vimercate Hospital, Vimercate, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luca","family":"Ferrario","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"General Surgery Department, ASST Fatebenefratelli-Sacco, Luigi Sacco University Hospital, Milano, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences \u201cLuigi Sacco,\u201d Universit\u00e0 Degli Studi di Milano, Milano, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Beatrice","family":"Zamburlini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"General and Thoracic surgery, ASST Papa Giovanni XXIII, Bergamo, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Simone","family":"Frassini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit of General Surgery I, Fondazione I.R.C.C.S.
