====== Road traffic accident ======

Road [[traffic accident]] occurs when a vehicle that is moving along a roadway collides with another vehicle or object.

Traumatic brain injury related to road traffic [[accident]]s poses a major challenge in resource-poor settings within [[Guinea]].

Prolonged hospital stay and higher in-hospital mortality was associated with longer time interval between accident and hospital arrival. This delay is attributed to inadequate condition of intercity roads and lack of emergency medical services

In total, 28 epidemiological studies on TBI from 16 European countries were identified in the literature. A great variation was found in case definitions and case ascertainment between studies. [[Fall]]s and [[road traffic accident]]s (RTA) were the two most frequent causes of TBI, with falls being reported more frequently than RTA
