This study describes the epidemiological characteristics of road accident victims attended by the Brazilian Mobile Emergency Service (SAMU-192) and located in the areas of highest accident density in the municipality of Olinda, (Pernambuco, Brazil). Kernel density estimation was used to detect spatial agglomerations of accidents. In 2015, 724 accidents occurred; of these, 73.48% of the victims were males aged 20-39 years. There was a predominance of accidents involving motorcycles (54.97%). Accident clusters were detected in the main traffic corridors, with run-over accidents located near bus terminals. Spatial analysis proved to be a relevant instrument for the identification of accident clusters and the application of effective prevention and traffic safety improvement measures.

“…The findings of greater involvement of males and younger age group have already been evidenced in the literature as the main categories of TA involvement [19][20][21] . It should be noted that this configuration has contributed to the appearance of costs on a scale not yet measured in the family network because when the main household provider is male, the demands in the family context imply economic reorganization from this new context 22 .…”

Resumo Este artigo objetivou caracterizar os custos de produtividade de pessoas envolvidas em acidente de trânsito (AT) em um município de médio porte. Um estudo longitudinal de base domiciliar foi realizado entre 2013 e 2015. Neste período, foram entrevistados e acompanhados indivíduos com AT e calculados os custos de produtividade. Os valores mensurados e estimados foram considerados para cálculo dos valores brutos e per capita e ajudaram a constituir os custos de perda de produtividade (dias sem trabalhar) e custos de retorno à produtividade (profissionais de saúde, medicamentos, transporte, dispositivos auxiliares e reparo de veículos). Demonstrou-se que os custos de perda foram maiores em relação aos custos de retorno. Entre os itens que compõem os de retorno à produtividade, observaram-se maiores custos em homens, adultos jovens, condutores, usuários de veículos de duas rodas, pessoas com vínculo público, em faixas etárias intermediárias e lesões do tipo fratura. São necessárias a avaliação e o direcionamento nos estágios de recuperação dos envolvidos a fim de minimizar o ônus social gerado por estes eventos.

“…Tendency of this age group to show scarce attention to traffi c rules and regulations and nonuse of safety devices such as helmets, seatbelts, restraints, and so on, can be a possible explanation for the same. This reveals that the most active and productive age group of population are affected in RTAs, which poses a serious economic loss to the community 13 . This is in accordance with higher incidence among students in our study (155 cases) similar to an epidemiological study done in South India 14 .…”
