摘要：	This study analyzes the incidence rates of incapacitating injuries as well as the commonly injured body regions among children under 8 years old involved in motor vehicle traffic crashes. Method and Data Source. This study provides a statistical analysis of two different databases: the National Automotive Sampling System (NASS) General Estimates System (GES) for 1999 to 2008 and the National Trauma Data Bank- National Sample Project (NTDB-NSP) for 2003 to 2007. This analysis indicates that use of child safety seats is effective in reducing the incidence rates of incapacitating injuries for the three age groups and in any crash type. The analysis indicates that children involved in rollover crashes had the highest incidence rates of incapacitating injuries. In rollover crashes, the estimated incidence rate of incapacitating injuries among unrestrained children was almost three times that for restrained children. In near-side impacts, unrestrained children were eight times more likely to sustain incapacitating injuries than children restrained in child safety seats. / Availability Note: Order this product from NTIS by: phone at 1-800-553-NTIS (U.S. customers); (703)605-6000 (other countries); fax at (703)605-6900; and email at orders@ntis.gov.
