The aim of the study was to examine the prevalence of pedestrian fatalities and serious injuries (MAIS3+) in traffic, and to identify differences in the factors associated with the injury severities. The study included all motor vehicle-pedestrian accidents in Finland in 2014–2017 and exposure data from the national travel survey of 2016. The results showed a heightened fatality and serious injury rate specifically for pedestrians aged over 75 years and in rural heartland areas. Furthermore, differences were identified in the current speed limit, municipality type, lighting conditions, vehicle type, area type, accident location, and road conditions between pedestrian fatalities and serious injuries. The main implications of the study are that traffic safety measures should be tailored to local conditions and amended and redirected to account for both fatalities and serious injuries. In order to conduct comparative studies between countries and support the achievement of transport policy objectives, further harmonisation of definitions and data collection procedures for traffic accidents is needed.

行人死亡和重伤的患病率及相关因素：芬兰案例

这项研究的目的是检查行人死亡和严重交通伤害（MAIS3 +）的患病率，并确定与伤害严重程度相关的因素之间的差异。该研究纳入了2014-2017年芬兰的所有机动车行人交通事故以及2016年全国旅行调查的暴露数据。结果表明，特别是75岁以上的行人和农村中心地带，死亡率和重伤率更高。此外，还确定了行人死亡和重伤之间的当前速度限制，市政类型，照明条件，车辆类型，区域类型，事故地点以及道路条件之间的差异。该研究的主要意义在于，交通安全措施应根据当地情况而定，并进行修改和重定向，以应对死亡和重伤。为了在国家之间进行比较研究并支持实现运输政策目标，需要进一步统一交通事故的定义和数据收集程序。
