Az egyik legfontosabb közlekedésbiztonsági teljesítménymutató a biztonságiöv-viselési arány. A hazai értékek alakulása és elemzése, más országokhoz történő viszonyítása fontos információkkal szolgál. Az írás a biztonságiöv-viselési arány hazai értékeinek alakulását elemzi más országokhoz képest. Erre az IRTAD (International Traffic Safety Data and Analysis Group), az OECD tagországok közúti forgalmi és baleseti adatbankja ad lehetőséget, ugyanis ez az útkategóriák szerint tartalmazza a személygépkocsik különböző ülésein megfigyelt biztonságiöv-viselési arányokat.

ObjectivesDriving is a daily activity for most people in developed countries and is important in maintaining independence. Bipolar patients may have an impaired driving behavior because of the pathology itself, with psychomotor and cognitive disturbances. Additionally, adverse effects of pharmacologic treatment may be detrimental.Methods24 remitted bipolar outpatients diagnosed according to ICD-10 criteria were enrolled in the study, receiving either lithium (n = 12) or lamotrigine (n = 12). Participants were investigated under steady state plasma level conditions. According to the German Guidelines for road and traffic safety data were collected with the Wiener Testsystem (WTS) measuring visual perception, reactivity, stress tolerance, concentration and vigilance.Psychopathologic symptoms were rated with the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) and the Young Mania Rating Scale - Clinician rated (YMRS-C).ResultsAbout 40% of patients were without clinically relevant psychomotor disturbances. In 40% of cases mild to moderate impairments could be seen, and 20% of the patients were considered as severely impaired. Data show that patients under lamotrigine had an altogether better test performance than patients treated with lithium. Especially in visual perception and stress tolerance differences were most pronounced.ConclusionsAbout 20% of remitted bipolar outpatients treated with lithium or lamotrigine must be considered unfit to drive. In 40% of the cases it seems justified to counsel patients individually, taking into account compensational factors. Analysis of our data point to an advantage for bipolar patients treated with lamotrigine when compared with lithium. However causal relationships can not be drawn from our data.

Meteorological data collection and monitoring is widely adopted in the traffic industry. Meteorological monitoring can ensure traffic safety and improve the traffic management level. According to the detection type the system is divided into several types: pavement visibility detector, road conditions detector, rainfall detector, wind speed and direction detector, etc. Subsequently the advantages and drawbacks or system working principle of various types are compared. Meanwhile the key issues and the future trend of development are presented.

IntroductionReal-world evidence (RWE) is a useful supplement to a product's evidence base especially for medical devices, which are often unsuitable for randomized controlled trials. Generally, RWE is analyzed retrospectively (for example, healthcare records), which lack granularity for health-economic analysis. Prospective collection of RWE in hospitals can promote device-specific endpoint assessment. The advent of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires a privacy-by-design approach. This work describes a workflow for a GDPR-compliant device-specific RWE collection as part of quality improvement initiatives (QII).MethodsA literature review identifies relevant clinical and quality markers as endpoints to the investigated technology. A panel of experts grade these endpoints on their clinical significance, privacy sensitivity, analytic value, and feasibility for collection. Endpoints meeting a predefined cut-off are considered quality markers for the QII. Finally, an RWE data collection app is designed to collect the quality markers using either longitudinal, pseudonymized data or single time-point anonymized data to ensure data protection by design.ResultsUsing this approach relevant clinical markers were identified in a GDPR-compliant manner. The data collection app design ensured that patient data were protected, while maintaining minimum requirements on patient information and consent. The pilot QII collected data on over 5,000 procedures, which represents the largest single data set available for the tested technology. Due to its prospective nature this programme was the first to collect patient outcomes in sufficient quantity for analysis, while previous studies only recorded adverse events.ConclusionsGDPR and RWE can co-exist in harmony. A design approach, which has data protection in mind from the start can combine high quality RWE collection of efficacy and safety data with maximum patient privacy.

Context: This study analyzed whether self-efficacy (SE) and perceived environmental characteristics (EC) are determinants of the decline in physical activity (PA) time in adolescents. Methods: This used longitudinal observational approach, with 4 years of data collection, involving 355 adolescents (57.7% girls and 42.3% boys), average age of 11.8 years (0.1 y), from João Pessoa, Paraiba, Brazil. SE and EC were measured by scales and PA by a questionnaire. Ordinal logistic regression was used to associate SE and EC with a decline in PA. Results: There was a linear trend toward a decrease in average PA duration (58.3 [13.7] min/wk/y) and a rise in average access to places for PA (point per year) (0.6 [0.1]), urban safety (0.2 [0.1]), and traffic safety scores (0.5 [0.1]). The results of multivariable analysis indicated that SE and EC were not associated with the decline in PA. Conclusion: There was a decline in PA time, and SE and perceived EC were not determinants of this decline.
