目的：分析2016年1月至2019年7月（含）期间与手动和电动踏板车使用相关的伤害。环境：电动踏板车租赁服务于2019年1月在丹麦推出。这些服务由私营公司提供。虽然已经建立了处理和骑滑板车的规则，没有报告之前或之后介绍电动滑板车预计的全部使用范围，和伤害骑手和pesticults.Participants：所有患者的记录提到手动或电动滑板车。记录进行了审查，并根据两组数据进行分层：手动和电动scooters.INTERVENTIONS：一个预定义的调查完成在所有情况下，“滑板车”是存在的。这包含的变量，如类型的踏板车，类型的参与者，受伤的机制，敏锐度，中毒，转诊到治疗facility.OUTCOME MEASURES：在涉及踏板车的事件中，连续和分类变量的兴趣的汇总统计reported.RESULTS：468踏板车相关的伤害记录。我们发现，手动滑板车骑手更有可能是15岁以下的儿童;独自摔倒，不涉及其他人;遭受挫伤，扭伤和撕裂伤;以及手指或脚趾擦伤。电动滑板车的乘客可能在18-25岁之间，面部瘀伤和撕裂伤需要缝合，并受到酒精或药物的影响。非电动滑板车的乘客大多是老年人谁绊倒滑板车，从而持续中度至重度injurission.CONCLUSION：有两种不同类型的人群遭受伤害的手动和电动滑板车，分别。电动滑板车造成的非骑车人受伤的比例惊人地大（17%），虽然电动滑板车将继续存在，但由于鲁莽驾驶和丢弃的电动滑板车，发生了一些明显可以预防的伤害。目前的使用规则可能无法防止不必要的事故，并确保交通安全和老年人的生命。
OBJECTIVE: To analyse injuries related to manual and electric scooter use from January 2016 up to and including July 2019.SETTING: Electric scooter rental services were launched in Denmark in January 2019. The services were provided by private companies. Although rules for handling and riding scooters have been established, no reports either before or after introduction of electric scooters anticipated the full extent of use, and injuries to riders and pedestrians.PARTICIPANTS: All patient records mentioning manual or electric scooters. Records were reviewed, and data were stratified according to two groups: manual and electric scooters.INTERVENTIONS: A predefined survey was completed in all cases where 'scooter' was present. This contained variables such as type of scooter, type of participant, mechanism of injury, acuity, intoxication, referral to treatment facility.OUTCOME MEASURES: Among incidents involving scooters, summary statistics on continuous and categorical variables of interest were reported.RESULTS: 468 scooter-related injuries were recorded. We found that manual scooter riders were more likely to be children under the age of 15; fall alone-involving no other party; sustain contusions, sprains and lacerations; and bruise either their fingers or toes. Riders of electric scooters were likely to be 18-25 years, sustain facial bruising and lacerations requiring sutures, and be under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Non-riders of electric scooters were mostly elderly people who tripped over scooters, consequently sustaining moderate to severe injuries.CONCLUSION: There were two different types of population sustaining injuries from manual and electric scooters, respectively. The proportion of non-riders injured by electric scooters were surprisingly large (17%), and while electric scooters are here to stay, several apparently preventable injuries occur as a result of reckless driving and discarded electric scooters. Current rules for usage might not prevent unnecessary accidents and secure traffic safety and the lives of older individuals.
