To determine the influence of risky driving behaviour on road traffic injuries and maxillofacial injuries. In addition, to assess the quality-adjusted life years (QALY) among the adult population. A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 504 patients using a multiphase random sampling technique to determine road traffic accident cases among the adult population across different government hospitals in Trichy. The Manchester driving behaviour questionnaire were used to collect the data for risky driving behaviour. The quality-adjusted life years was evaluated with 15D questionnaire. Based on the formula for calculating the QALY, it is obtained from the scores. Principal component analysis was used for the reduction factor for the questionnaire, and it was reduced to a 15-D questionnaire. Chisquare test and Pearson correlation test were used to found out the statistical analysis between the variables. The correlation between quality-adjusted life-years questionnaire among the two and four-wheeler riders. P-value was found to be statistically significant for maximum variables recorded in the study, which includes hearing (0.025), breathing (0.015), sleeping (0.035), discomfort and symptoms (0.023), distress (0.012), depression (0.034), vitality (0.031). The present study concluded that subjects with maxillofacial injuries and other bodily injuries were affected the patient’s quality of life.
