Urban mobility has drastically evolved over the last decade and micromobility rapidly became an expanding segment of contemporary daily transportation routines. E-scooter riders and bicyclists may share similar trauma characteristics, but this has been little explored. The objective was to describe and compare the characteristics of e-scooter and bicycle-related trauma. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of data from the Rhône road collision registry (January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019). We included all e-scooter or bicycle riders injured in traffic collisions during the study period; there were no exclusion criterion. A total of 2,779 patients were included; 825 (29.7%) were e-scooter riders and 1,954 (70.3%) were bicyclists. E-scooter riders were younger (median [IQR]: 24 [20–32] vs 29 [20–45] years, p < 0.001) and less frequently male (64.2% vs 73.4%, p < 0.001). Most e-scooter and bicycle road collisions were consequent to a fall or loss of vehicle control (74.2% vs 67.7%, p < 0.001). E-scooter riders were less frequently wearing a helmet at the time of the road collision (6.1% vs 30.7%, p < 0.001) and had more frequently head (24.2% vs 19.9%, p = 0.01) and face (30.6 vs 20.5%, p < 0.001) injuries compared to bicyclists. The median injury severity score was 2 [1–4] in both groups with no significant difference (p = 0.77). E-scooter and bicycle-related trauma patients were mainly young males with minor injuries and most of them sustained a road collision with no third-party. However, they suffered from different injury patterns; e-scooter riders suffered more frequently face and head injuries than bicycle riders, which may be at least partly the consequence of less frequent helmet use among e-scooter riders compared to bicyclists. Hence the two groups of users should not be considered as a single trauma entity. This issue should be promptly addressed to bring down the incidence of preventable injuries and avoid healthcare costs.

电动滑板车与自行车相关创伤的特征和比较：道路碰撞登记数据的多中心横断面分析

在过去十年中，城市交通发生了翻天覆地的变化，微型交通迅速成为当代日常交通方式的一个扩展部分。电动滑板车骑手和骑自行车的人可能具有相似的创伤特征，但很少有人对此进行探索。目的是描述和比较电动滑板车和自行车相关创伤的特征。我们对罗纳公路碰撞登记处（2019 年 1 月 1 日至 2019 年 12 月 31 日）的数据进行了横断面分析。我们纳入了研究期间在交通事故中受伤的所有电动滑板车或自行车骑手；没有排除标准。共纳入 2,779 名患者；825 人 (29.7%) 是电动滑板车骑手，1,954 人 (70.3%) 是骑自行车者。电动滑板车骑手更年轻（中位数 [IQR]：24 [20-32] 与 29 [20-45] 岁，p < 0。001）和较少男性（64.2% vs 73.4%，p < 0.001）。大多数电动滑板车和自行车道路碰撞是由于车辆摔倒或失去控制造成的（74.2% 对 67.7%，p < 0.001）。电动滑板车骑手在道路碰撞时戴头盔的频率较低（6.1% vs 30.7%，p < 0.001），头部（24.2% vs 19.9%，p = 0.01）和面部（30.6 vs 20.5）的频率更高%, p < 0.001) 与骑自行车者相比的伤害。两组的中位损伤严重程度评分为 2 [1-4]，无显着差异 (p = 0.77)。电动滑板车和自行车相关的创伤患者主要是受轻伤的年轻男性，他们中的大多数人在没有第三方的情况下发生了道路碰撞。但是，他们遭受了不同的伤害模式；电动滑板车骑手比自行车骑手更频繁地遭受面部和头部伤害，与骑自行车的人相比，这可能至少部分是因为电动滑板车骑手较少使用头盔。因此，这两组用户不应被视为一个单一的创伤实体。应及时解决此问题，以降低可预防伤害的发生率并避免医疗费用。
