在许多国家，少报道路交通事故阻碍了制定适当的道路安全对策。在本研究中，收集了2014年马来西亚马六甲登加地区道路交通事故伤亡的警察和医院记录，以确定其匹配率和报告率。基于来自两种类型记录的真实个人标识符，使用Microsoft SQL来揭示匹配率如何因多种因素而变化。结果显示，在7625个医院记录中，有311个案例可以与这两个数据库相关联，匹配率为4.1%，警方报告率为4.7%。报告率和匹配率都随着损伤严重程度的增加而增加。警方数据库中的严重漏报表明，补充数据对于加强目前的官方撞车数据记录是必要的。
Underreporting of road crashes hampers the development of appropriate road safety countermeasures in many countries. In this study, police and hospital records from road crash casualties in the Melaka Tengah district in Malaysia from 2014 were collected to determine their matching and reporting rates. Based on authentic personal identifiers from both types of records, Microsoft SQL was used to reveal how the matching rate varies due to multiple factors. The results showed that 311 cases (of 7625 hospital records) could be linked to both databases, yielding a 4.1% matching rate and a 4.7% police reporting rate. Both the reporting and matching rates increased with the level of injury severity. The significant underreporting in the police database showed that complementary data are necessary for enhancing the current official crash data records.
