Results: the level of 95% is used for all confidence intervals (CI)
Kim et al. 2007 South Korea (whole country)
Transportation-related mortality (all types)
0–5 years R: birth and death registers
Father’s occupation, mother’s education for individual level, deprivation index for districts (5 levels)
Multilevel poisson regression Sex
Deprivation showed a clear positive relationship with mortality by transport-related causes (RR=1.5—estimated from figure—for 4th quintile compared to first quintile)
Laflamme et al. 2009 Sweden (Stockholm county)
Hospitalisations, RTI as pedestrian, bicyclist, motor vehicle rider
7–16 years R: regional inpatient register
Family disposable income, Townsend deprivation index Congdon index
Multilevel study NLMXED procedure in a two-level model Age
After adjusting for compositional factors, there was still unexplained area variability for injuries among motor vehicle riders
