Road traffic accidents caused numerous family tragedies such as serious economic loss to the community and the death of young people. The problem is more severe in low and middle-income countries. In Ethiopia, the largest proportion of series injuries comes from road traffic accidents and become major causes of death in the emergency room. Despite this, only a little is known about treatment outcomes of road traffic accident victims and its associated factors in Ethiopia. Method An institution-based Cross-sectional study design was conducted at Wolaita Soddo Christian hospital with a sample of 400 road traffic accidents. The medical record was selected using a systematic sampling method. Data was entered using Epi-data version 4.1 and was exported to and analyzed using SPSS version 23. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to assess the association between the independent variables and dependent variables. RESULT The overall death rate was 9.5%. Being out of hospital catchment area [AOR= 2.16, 95% CI= (1.01-4.70)] presence of co-morbid condition [AOR= 6.77 95% CI= (2.44-18.81)] lack of first aid help [AOR= 2.77 95% CI= (1.17-6.52)] and severity of the injury [AOR= 3.85 95% CI= (1.50-9.89)] were found to be significantly associated with outcome of road traffic accident victims. Conclusion The study shows that the death rate from road traffic accidents was high. Therefore, designing strategies to decrease death from road traffic accidents by giving great emphasis to road traffic accident victims with co-morbid conditions and severe injury and focusing on the availability and accessibility of pre-hospital care service.

Increase in blood glucose levels can be caused by the long-term use of pesticides by farmers. This study aims to determine whether there is a correlation between the activity of cholinesterase as an indicator of exposure to pesticides and blood glucose of farmers in Mlokorejo Village, Jember Regency. The research method is observational-analytic with a cross-sectional study design. Data in the form of general characteristics of the sample were obtained through interviews, while the data of the activity of cholinesterase and blood glucose levels of farmers were obtained at the Biochemical Laboratory of the Faculty of Medicine, Jember University. The sample size of this study is 30 samples. All of the samples are having an increased activity of cholinesterase. Most of the samples are having normal blood glucose levels. Based on the results of statistical analysis using the Spearman correlation test (a= 0.05), it was concluded that there was no significant correlation between the two variables (p = 0,191). Keywords: blood glucose, cholinesterase, pesticides

The Minister of Transportation stated that 4 (four) people died every day due to traffic accidents, 72% occurred in Indonesia and 73.9% involved motorbikes. The incident was an indication that motorbikes were the main cause of traffic accidents and contributed the most victims. The traffic accident data of the East Nusa Tenggara POLDA in 2018 showed a trend of increasing traffic accidents in 2018. The level of population mobilization in the legal territory of the West Sumba POLRES is relatively high. Based on the annual report book of West Sumba POLRES in 2018 there have been traffic accidents with 126 cases. The study aims to determine the factors associated with motorcycle driver traffic accidents in the area of West Sumba POLRES in 2019. This type of research is a quantitative study using a cross-sectional study approach. This research was conducted at the West Sumba Police Resort with a sample of 53 people. Analysis of the data used the chi-square statistical test. The results of this study indicate that the factors associated with traffic accidents are age (p = 0.004), behavior (p = 0.008), and lamp conditions (p = 0.005).
