目的研究国家禁止发短信对机动车碰撞（MVC）相关急诊科（艾德）就诊的影响。方法我们使用了2007年至2014年美国16个州的艾德数据。我们采用了差异中的差异方法和条件泊松回归来估计在有和没有短信禁令的州中与MVC相关的艾德就诊计数的变化。我们还构建了年龄组，以探讨短信禁令是否会对年龄组产生不同的影响。结果平均而言，禁止发短信的州与MVC相关的艾德就诊减少了4%（发病率比= 0.96; 95%置信区间= 0.96，0.97）。这相当于在有禁令的州每年平均阻止1632次与交通有关的艾德就诊。无论是对所有司机还是只对年轻司机，初级和二级禁令都与到艾德的MVC相关访问的显着减少有关。在禁止发短信的州，年龄在64岁及以下的人在实施短信禁令后，与MVC相关的艾德就诊次数明显减少。结论我们的研究结果表明，各州通过禁止发短信来遏制分心驾驶并减少其负面后果的努力与MVC后艾德就诊率的显著下降有关。
Objectives To examine the impact of state texting bans on motor vehicle crash (MVC)-related emergency department (ED) visits. Methods We used ED data from 16 US states between 2007 and 2014. We employed a difference-in-difference approach and conditional Poisson regressions to estimate changes in counts of MVC-related ED visits in states with and without texting bans. We also constructed age cohorts to explore whether texting bans have differential impacts by age group. Results On average, states with a texting ban saw a 4% reduction in MVC-related ED visits (incidence rate ratio = 0.96; 95% confidence interval = 0.96, 0.97). This equates to an average of 1632 traffic-related ED visits prevented per year in states with a ban. Both primary and secondary bans were associated with significant reductions in MVC-related visits to the ED regardless of whether they were on all drivers or young drivers only. Individuals aged 64 years and younger in states with a texting ban saw significantly fewer MVC-related ED visits following its implementation. Conclusions Our findings suggest that states’ efforts to curb distracted driving through texting bans and decrease its negative consequences are associated with significant decreases in the incidence of ED visits that follow an MVC.
