研究组包括2,128名机动车乘员、行人和其他道路使用者，他们的受伤导致住院或死亡。所有这样的病人在八个巴尔的摩医院在1968年至1969年的2年期间被列入。选择这八家医院的依据是，它们有记录系统，可以查明因车辆受伤而入院的病人。其中7家医院参加了专业活动研究（PAS），在这些医院使用了编码的PAS数据。在第八家医院，数据来自病人的病历。转移到其他医院或扩展护理设施的患者被跟踪，以确定他们的状态，截至1971年3月。来自马里兰州首席医学检查官办公室的记录为入院后死亡的人提供了第二个信息来源，并且还可以包括到达时死亡的人（DOA）或在入院前在急诊室死亡的人。

All such patients at eight Balti-more hospitals during the 2-year period 1968–1969 were included. The eight hospitals were selected on the basis of having record systems that made it feasible to identify patients admitted because of vehicle-related injuries. Seven of the hospitals were participants in the Professional Activity Study (PAS), and at these hospitals the coded PAS data were used. At the eighth hospital data were obtained from patients' charts. Patients transferred to other hospitals or extended care facilities were followed to determine their status as of March 1971. Records from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner of Maryland provided a second source of information for persons who died following hospital admission, and also made it possible to include persons who were dead on arrival (DOA) or who died in emergency rooms prior to admis-
