The use of two-wheeled vehicles is growing rapidly, especially in low- to middle-income countries, leading to an increase in RTAs. In India 27% of the deaths related to accidents are of users of motorized two- wheeled vehicles. <\/br><\/br> <b>Aim:<\/b> The aim of the study is to determine the pattern of head injuries among motorcycle riders who wear or do not wear helmets. <\/br><\/br> <b>Material and methods:<\/b> The study is a prospective observational study. The study groups shall be initially categorised by the use of helmets and will be studied in terms of clinical presentation on admission. Basic epidemiological information will be collected for every patient. The case record shall be done in two parts: the clinical survey and the radiological survey. The survey was designed according to ATLS guidelines for the assessment of trauma patients. <\/br><\/br> <b>Results:<\/b> Helmet wearers suffered significantly fewer head and traumatic brain injuries than their non-helmeted counterparts. <\/br><\/br> <b>Conclusion:<\/b> Helmets provide significant protection against the morbidity and mortality related to traumatic brain injury as a result of RTAs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5604\/01.3001.0015.9282","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,1]],"date-time":"2022-08-01T11:15:52Z","timestamp":1659352552000},"page":"30-34","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["A prospective study of head injury patterns in motorcycle riders wearing\/not wearing helmets"],"prefix":"10.5604","volume":"95","author":[{"given":"Yogesh","family":"Takalkar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Seth Gordhandas Sunderdas Medical College and King Edward Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, Maharashtra, I"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kumar","family":"Vashist","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgical Oncology, Nizams Institute of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad, Telangana, In"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vaishnavi","family":"Chakravarthy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Seth Gordhandas Sunderdas Medical College and King Edward Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, Maharashtra,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pravin","family":"Shinde","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Seth Gordhandas Sunderdas Medical College and King Edward Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, Maharashtra,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3689","reference":[{"key":"230174r1","unstructured":"World Health Organization: Helmets: a road safety manual for decision-makers and practitioners.
