Summary:

Multiple datasets (crash, emergency department, inpatient discharge, and death certificate) were linked in order to (a) follow crash victims through the healthcare system, and (b) examine types and severities of injuries sustained by vehicle occupants in head-on, rear-end, angle, and rollover crashes occurring on Massachusetts roadways in 2002 and 2003. The crash-involved vehicles were classified by type (passenger car or light truck/van) and age (pre-1995 or 2002-newer). Moreover, the injury types, hospital charges, and length of stay of the crash-involved occupants were considered. Finally, logistic regression models were developed to compare the injury odds ratios for each of the four types of crashes. Some of the findings included the following:
