According to federal fatality data, adjusted for registered vehicle years, the Excursion had more than triple the fatality rate of the smaller Expedition and more than double the fatality rate of the midsize Explorer.
While fatality rates in the United States continued to fall over roughly the same period, as technology and design radically improved, the country has slipped to ninth from first among nations ranked by fatality rates adjusted for miles traveled.
Even though the nation has steadily lowered its traffic death rates, its ranking has fallen from first to ninth over the last 30 years, according to a review of global fatality rates adjusted for distances traveled.
[C5.] Other Nations Top U.S. in Safety The United States, the safest place in the world to drive 30 years ago, now ranks ninth, according to a review of global fatality rates adjusted for distances traveled.
Data in a coming report from the National Institutes of Health indicate that for every 1 percent increase in a city's compactness index, essentially a measure of its density, there is a 1.9 percent drop in the pedestrian fatality rate, adjusted for exposure.
Case fatality data were adjusted for cardiac intervention uptake, education and off-peak travel times to hospital attended using Cox regression.
A logit-linear logistic regression model was fitted to 30-day case fatality risks, adjusting for a linear trend and modelling an interaction between trend and country.
Infection with pneumococcal serotype 14, the most frequent serotype among penicillin-resistant isolates, was associated with lower case-fatality after adjusting for age and penicillin-resistance (Table 2).
For each log2 increase in MIC, we observed a 20% increase in case-fatality (adjusted HR 1.20, 95% CI 1.06 to 1.36, p < 0.005).
