Региональные особенности частоты ДТП на трассах республиканского значения Казахстана с учетом показателей смертности и числа пострадавших за 2021 год

Abstract

The purpose of the study: to study the frequency of road accidents on highways of national significance for 2021, based on the mortality rates and the number of victims in the regions of Kazakhstan.Methods. The paper analyzes the indicators of the frequency of accidents, their mortality rate and the number of victims, based on the population density. The work of the country's highway medical and rescue centers has been also evaluated, namely the number of departures and the number of hospitalizations.Results. The number of road accidents in relation to the population density during the study period prevails in the city of Almaty and Almaty region – 33%, Zhambyl region – 11%, in the city of Nur-Sultan and Akmola region - 11%, in the city of Shymkent and Turkestan region – 7%. The proportion of accidents in the context of the regions of Kazakhstan left: the southern region – 54%, the northern region – 22%, the western region – 12%, the eastern region - 6%, central Kazakhstan – 5%. Greater number of victims per 1 exit of highway medical and rescue points can be noted in the city of Almaty and Almaty region (1211), the city of Shymkent and Turkestan regions (408), as well as in Zhambyl (412) and Karaganda (403) regions. The highest mortality rates as a result of road accidents are observed in the southern region of Kazakhstan: the city of Almaty and Almaty region (31.98 per 100 thousand population), in Shymkent and Turkestan region (16.46 per 100 thousand population) and in Zhambyl region (10.67 per 100 thousand population). The lowest indicator in the North Kazakhstan region is 2.03 per 100 thousand population.Conclusions. There is a correlation between the cases of road accidents, the number of injured and dead as a result of road accidents and the population density, since the largest proportion of road accidents occur in the densely populated regions of Kazakhstan. There is a decrease in the number of road accidents in 2021 by 16% compared to previous years, which was reflected in a decrease in the number of visits by teams of HMRP by 12%, medical care provided by 27% and the number of hospitalized by 8%
