(28.7%) and fall 62 cases (11.3%). The type of traffic accidents
is also listed in Table 3. The majority of traffic-related
accidents involved bicyclists, pedestrians and passengers.
The most common type of vehicle where a passenger was
injured was a truck or a minivan. The majority of injuries
treated at Mosoriot clinic were superficial, which is expected
for an outpatient facility.
Out of the 379 injury cases involving an adult, alcohol
use was suspected by the health care provider in 112 cases
(29.6%) while it was not suspected in 267 cases (70.4%).
Although injury severity was slightly lower for cases where
alcohol use was not suspected, the difference was not statistically
significant. However, alcohol use was significantly
more likely among victims of assault (odds ratio 3.4%,
95% confidence interval 2.1–5.7, p < 0.001) (Table 4).
GIS analysis of injury location is presented in Figs. 3
and 4. In the former, the exact location and type of injury
are shown along with the sublocations (Kenyan administrative
area located hierarchically below district level) in
the catchment area of Mosoriot Health center. In the latter,
buffers of one, two and three kilometers around major
roads have been drawn. The vast majority of injuries happen
close to roads where population density is at its
highest.
