Epidemiology and mapping of serious and fatal road traffic injuries in Guyana: results from a cross-sectional study
Conclusions
Road traffic injuries pose a considerable public health burden in Guyana. These results suggest a pattern of high mortality in rural collisions and a disproportionate burden of injuries on vulnerable road users. The spatial distribution of collisions should be considered in order to target interventions and improve road traffic safety.
