Abstract: Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar entre os motociclistas envolvidos em ocorrências de trânsito fatores associados ao risco de lesões. No ano de 2004, foram identificados, em Maringá-PR, um total de 2.362 motociclistas envolvidos em ocorrências de trânsito com registro nos boletins da Polícia Militar. Para identificar os fatores associados à presença de lesão, foi utilizada a análise multivariada. Uma probabilidade, significantemente mais elevada de motociclistas se ferirem, foi observada entre aqueles… Show more

“…A study in Brazil showed that collision of a motorcycle with a motorcycle was 11.19 times more likely to result in an injury for a motorcyclist than the collision of a motorcycle with a pedestrian or an animal. Furthermore, those who fell from the motorcycle were 3.81 times more likely to be injured [25] . Early recognition that those victims in MV accidents, especially collisions of motorcycles with heavy vehicles, are more likely to sustain severe injuries than those in SV accidents may mandate corresponding adaptation of clinic staff rescue criteria.…”

“…Para os motociclistas, apesar de todos os avanços obtidos por meio de desenhos veiculares modernos e equipamentos de segurança, a desigualdade nas condições de proteção, ou sua maior exposição nas vias em relação aos usuários de outros veículos, é fator determinante de sua maior morbimortalidade. Juntamente com ciclistas e pedestres, os motociclistas estão extremamente expostos e vulneráveis e despontam nas estatísticas de ocorrências de trânsito que provocam lesões graves e mortes 13 .…”

“…A study that analyzed the factors associated to the risks of injuries in motorcyclists in Maringá showed that 78.8% of the victims presented injuries, and more than half of the injured was referred to tertiary hospitals 14 . Accidents involving motorcycles have four-fold higher chance of injury, and eight-fold higher chance of death when compared to car accidents 39 .…”

“…This context of a society based on consumption, need of agility and increasingly chaotic traffic result in a high risk of exposure to traffic accidents 7,11 . Studies have shown that the profile of people involved in motorcycle accidents is predominantly represented by men aged between 15 and 44 years, corresponding to the productive portion of the population [13][14][15][16] . Accidents involving motorcycles are among the major public health problems and create a worrying scenario, with numbers that do not stop to grow [16][17][18] .…”
