“…Research in Brazil found that, while only 14 % of falls were occupational, these falls were more likely to be from greater heights and result in worse injuries [ 98 ]. This is consistent with data from China that found urban falls were more likely to be from greater heights when work related and less likely to be on-level falls [ 125 ]. Finally, most research has found that occupational injuries, including falls, are more likely among men than women [ 27 , 98 ].…”

“…A study in 2012 says that the quality and accuracy of the data directly influence the planning of actions and in the prioritization of traffic safety while political decisions. 30 A limitation of this study was to use secondary records, with variables not informed although considered essential for the understanding of the accident. Such a situation was minimized by the relationship of data bases.…”

Objective: to identify the magnitude and factors associated with death and serious injuries among victims of traffic accidents in the urban area of Goiânia, Brazil. Methods: cross-sectional study with linkage between records of the Mortality Information System (SIM) Hospital Information System of the Brazilian National Health System (SIH/SUS) and occurrences of traffic accidents, from January to June 2013; Poisson regression was used. Results: among 9,795 identified victims, there were 155 deaths and 1,225 serious injuries; cyclists (Incidence ratio [IR]=2.26; 95%CI 1.19;4.30) and pedestrians (IR=2.12; 95%CI 1.26;3.58) had an increased risk of death, while the risk of serious injuries was higher among motorcyclists (IR=2.38; 95%CI 2.01;2.83), cyclists (IR=2.35; 95%CI 1.76;3.13) and pedestrians (IR=2.83; 95%CI 2.27;3.53). Conclusion: the study revealed a number of deaths and serious injuries, closer to the real and identified vulnerable groups to plan traffic safety actions.

“…Brazil is a developing country and many studies have shown that economic growth contributes to an increase in car accidents especially among young adults, as also found in Turkey 33 . In contrast, a study in China revealed that the total number of traffic fatalities peaked in 2002, with a subsequent continued reduction, although the total number of cars has increased rapidly over the same period of time.…”

Background: Traffic accidents are a major global public health problem with an impact on morbidity and mortality. Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the mortality trend from road accidents among young adults. Method: An ecological time-series study was performed of the deaths of young (15-24 years old) in traffic accidents in the state of Parana, Brazil from 1996 to 2013. Mortality data was obtained from the Mortality Information System. Mortality rates were calculated and the trend analysis was performed through polynomial regression models. A trend was considered significant when the estimated model obtained a p-value <0.05. Accidents involving tricycles were excluded from the analysis (58 cases). Results: Of the 12,063 deaths from road accidents, 82.0% were male. There was a significant and growing trend of accident mortality rates involving motorcyclists and car and pick-up truck occupants, and a decreasing trend of fatal accidents involving pedestrians. The average mortality rate for accidents involving motorcyclists was 10 deaths per 100,000 residents, an increase of 1.13 per year. Accidents involving car occupants increased annually by 0.43 and accidents involving pick-up truck occupants by 0.01. Conclusion: There was a significant increasing trend for fatalities of both genders, especially motorcyclists and car occupants. The pedestrian mortality trend has shown a decreasing due to their lower exposure.
