AIM Driveway runover injuries are a frequent cause of paediatric mortality and morbidity throughout the world. Driveway runovers occur as a result of an interaction between human factors (child and driver), vehicle factors (visibility) and environmental factors (driveway design and surroundings). This study investigates the environmental factors involved in these injuries. METHODS Case contro...

OBJECTIVES To examine risk factors for driveway-related child pedestrian injuries. DESIGN A community based case-control study. SETTING The Auckland region of New Zealand. PARTICIPANTS Cases (n = 53) were children killed or hospitalized as a result of a driveway-related pedestrian injury, in the Auckland region over a period of 2 years and 2 months. Controls (n = 159) were an age-matched ...

AIMS To investigate the demographic, accident, and environmental characteristics associated with driveway run-over injuries in order to identify potentially modifiable factors and prevention strategies METHODS Retrospective review of all children less than 15 years old who were hospitalised or killed due to a driveway run-over injury in the Auckland region of New Zealand over the 50-month per...

OBJECTIVES To describe the frequency, nature and outcome of driveway injuries in children. DESIGN Retrospective case series of driveway-related injuries in children under 16 years of age admitted to the New Children's Hospital (NCH), New South Wales, from November 1995 to February 2000, and deaths reported to the New South Wales Paediatric Trauma Death (NPTD) Registry from January 1988 to Dec...

AIM To describe the incidence and demographics of children injured by slow-moving vehicles in Auckland driveways in order to develop preventative strategies. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed all children less than 15 years, 76 in total, who were injured by a vehicle in a driveway within Auckland between January 1998 and October 2001. Patient demographics and risk factors were identified by...

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate driveway-related injuries in children, identify associated risk factors, and evaluate outcome compared with other mechanisms of blunt trauma. METHODS A 6-year review (1991 to 1996) of pediatric (age less than 18 years) pedestrian injuries treated at two urban trauma centers was conducted: one regional pediatric trauma center and one ...

Taking a super large deep foundation pit project as an example, the horizontal displacement of crown beam and driveway, surface settlement, axial force anchor cable, underground water level in construction process are dynamically monitored analyzed. The excavation deformation rule influence on surrounding buildings results show that, with pit, driveway incline towards direction eventually tend ...
