Abstract:

Globally, Road Traffic Accidents (RTA) are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Low and middle-income countries account for more than ninety per cent of the total global RTA deaths. Early response and prompt rescue can prevent mortality and morbidity. Nepal's accidents arise from substandard roads, vehicle safety, and reckless driving. This study aimed to examine trends, causes, morbidity, and mortality from RTA in Karnali province, Nepal. Secondary data analysis encompassed ten Karnali districts, utilizing records from the Province Traffic Police between July 17, 2019, and Ju

Abstract Background: The increasing number of road traffic accidents (RTAs) worldwide is a major concern, posing a significant threat to people’s lives and well-being. Of particular worry is the substantial impact of fatal head injuries within the overall toll of these accidents. Understanding what contributes to head injuries in RTAs is complex, and specific factors such as the number of vehicles involved, speed, vehicle weight, and impact surface add layers of intricacy that need scrutiny. In simpler terms, we need to look at how these factors come into play. Aims and Objectives: The primary
