Abstract

Aim: In the present study, the purpose was to investigate the effects of environmental and personal risk factors on accidents in the motor courier business, which expanded with the pandemic. Material and Method: A total of 227 patients who applied to the Emergency Department after motorcycle accidents between After Pandemic (AP) March 2020-March 2022 and Before Pandemic (BP) March 2018-March 2020 period were included in the study. Statistical differences were analyzed regarding the number of motorcycle accidents before and after the pandemic, the occupation of the patients, driving experiences, weather conditions, and the timing of the accident. Results: No statistically significant differences were detected between the mean age, gender distribution, occupational distribution, accident occurrence time, and duration of experience of the patients in motorcycle accidents admitted to the Emergency Department (p>0.05). Statistically significant differences were detected between the weekly working hours of the patients BP and AP (p
