Understanding road accident injury dynamics in Iran: a growth mixture modelling perspective by Ziba Zarrin, Kamran Gholamizadeh, Elaheh Talebi-Ghane, Erfan Ayubi, Omid Hamidi

“…A piecewise linear mixed-effects model was employed to estimate trends in injury rates, by gender. To identify distinct clusters of provinces exhibiting similar trends in injury rates, a growth mixture model was used over the 10 years.Results Among provinces, Qom (95% CI 18.99 to 37.21) and Sistan and Baluchestan (95% CI 5.41 to 7.66) had the highest and lowest injury rates over the decade, respectively. …”
