    Abstract
    Objective: Motorcycle accidents progress with higher mortality than other accidents. There can be many different factors in the emergence of accidents. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of alcohol and other demographic characteristics on motorcycle accidents. Materials and Methods: Patients who were admitted to the emergency department after motorcycle accidents between 01.10.2013-01.10.2014 were evaluated retrospectively. Features such as blood ethanol levels, age, sex, time of admission to the emergency department (hour, day, month and season), weather conditions, mortality, hospitalization and operation necessity and the loss of labor were discussed. Findings: 241 patients were included in the study where 99.2% of the patients were male and the mean age was 27,04 ± 10,86. Most of the accidents are found to have occurred in the evening (49.8%), in autumn (31%) and sunny/outdoor conditions (51%) with good visibility. It was determined that 3 patients died due to head trauma, 142 patients were evaluated and discharged from the emergency department and 41 patients were determined to have labor loss longer than 1 month. Conclusion: In motorcycle accidents, mostly young males have been affected. Most of the alcoholic patients (50%) consist of young patients aged between 18-40 years. It has been revealed that head trauma is an important cause of mortality and morbidity in such accidents.
