摘要：Background: Over the years, Uganda is one of low and middle-income countries bearing the heaviest burden of road traffic incidents (RTI). Since proclamation of the United Nations Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011 - 2020, a number of measures are taken to wane on a the burden. However, they ought to be premised on existing evidence-based research which the present review ventures to undertake by reporting about the five years trend of RTI in Uganda. Methods: Based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Data Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines a systematic review was employed. Using a thematic analysis, articles were grouped into: trauma etiology, trauma care, mortality, cost, trauma registry and communication, intervention and treatment for final analysis. Results: Of the nineteen articles that were identified to be relevant to the study, the etiology of RTI was inevitably observed to be an important cause of injuries in Uganda. The risk factors cut-across: the crash type, injury physiology, cause, victims, setting, age, economic status, and gender. All studies that were reviewed advanced varying recommendations aimed at responding to the trend of RTIs in Uganda, and of which some are in tandem with the five pillars of the United Nations Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011 - 2020. Conclusion: Peripheral measures to the burden of RTI in Uganda were undertaken within the five year's timeframe (2011 - 2015) of implementing the United Nations Decade of Action for Road Safety. The measures however, ought to be scaled-up on robust and evidence based research available from all the concerned stakeholders beyond Kampala/ or central region to other parts of Uganda.
