Abstract

Information on injury severity, hospital charges, discharge facility, and insurance status for 706 motorcycle operators and 68 passengers is compared to information on 9, 000 other roadway crash victims and 15, 500 non- roadway trauma victims treated at eight North Carolina trauma centers during the period October 1987- June 1990. Results show that motorcyclists and other road trauma patients experience similar injury severity distributions and require similar levels of treatment as measured by length of hospital stay, overall hospital charges, and discharge facility.
