2020, International Journal of Disaster Risk ReductionCitation Excerpt :This is consistent with that observed during the 2010–2011 Canterbury earthquake sequence [13,14] as well as other recent earthquakes in New Zealand [25] where females were twice as likely as males to be injured. In the 1994 Northridge, USA, and 1995 Kobe, Japan earthquakes females were also reported to be more likely to be injured than men [9,26]. As this was a night-time event it is assumed the exposure for males and females would have been similar and that the variation in reported injuries could not be due to differences in exposure.

2018, International Journal of Disaster Risk ReductionCitation Excerpt :The primary objective of this study is to analyze the factors associated with human injuries caused by two powerful earthquakes that struck Nepal on April 25 and May 12, 2015. Although a considerable number of studies [e.g., [5–18]] have examined various aspects of injuries caused by earthquakes, the overwhelming majority of these studies used an epidemiological approach, and are thus based on retrospective review of operative data from hospital log books and medical records or discharge reports of patients admitted and treated mostly at a single hospital for a specific time period. A notable exception to these hospital-based earthquake injuries studies is one by Johnston et al. [19] who investigated causes of injury during the 2010/2011 Canterbury, New Zealand, earthquakes.
