Population weighted data representative of crashes in the United States showing lost time from work and lost productivity and restraint use (95% confidence interval)
| Variable | Surviving occupants* | Fatally injured occupants | All motor vehicle crash occupants | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Restrained (n = 20 996)† | Unrestrained (n = 8663)† | Restrained (n = 633)† | Unrestrained (n = 1871)† | Restrained (n = 21 629)† | Unrestrained (n = 10 534)† | |
| *Estimates for mean work days lost by restraint use were determined from multiple linear regression models, adjusting for age, sex, airbag deployment, model year, occupant role (driver v passenger), and seat position (front v back). All values presented are based on population weighted data. | ||||||
| †Sample n values reported are the average n from three imputed data sets between 1993 and 2001 before population weighting. | ||||||
