Estimates and CIs that were extracted from articles are not in italics; those that were calculated to answer the specific research questions are in italics. Estimates and CIs were only calculated when there were raw data addressing the specific research questions. Calculations might be affected by both rounding to a few decimals in source articles and adjustment based on sampling, which may results here in narrower intervals that should be interpreted with caution.
+ =or more; 1 =1 passenger; 2 =2 passengers; 3 =3 passengers; CI =confidence interval; AOR =adjusted odds ratio; Est. =Estimate; f =female; m =male; OR =odds ratio (or crude odds ratio); Pass. =passenger; RR =relative risk.
Sections about driver and passenger age can also include details about gender and number of passenger if the data were only reported as such in articles.
“Any” describes studies including passengers of any age. When the information about passenger age was not provided, it was assumed that any passenger age was included.
This study presented crash rates for male and female drivers separately. We calculated estimates, but significance was provided in the article.
Estimates and CIs for male and female drivers were extracted from figures in the article.
This article compared solo driving versus passenger presence; so, estimates and CIs were extracted from the article, and scores were inverted to answer the current research question.
