“…If one sticks to the results concerning the cost of people injured with SCI and TBI due to MVTC, the findings are in line with other studies done in Spain [16,23]. Focusing on SCI, the cost for the USA was estimated as USD 9,700 million per year in 2006 [7]; the cost per injured person ranged from USD 246,052 for incomplete motor function to USD 874,232 for quadriplegia.…”

“…Utilizando el método del capital humano, en 1997 Albert & Cloutier 35 reportaron un costo indirecto de 104 millones de dólares por discapacidad en la provincia de Alberta en Canadá. Posteriormente en 2004, Bastida et al 36 realizaron una estimación de los costos econó-micos de las lesiones causadas por el tránsito en España, y encontraron que la pérdida de productividad por retiro temprano, ascendía a €1.597,78 millones (US$1.910.124.228,91). Respecto a los costos indirectos, nuestras estimaciones muestran un valor monetario diez veces mayor al reportado por Albert & Cloutier 35 , mientras que el costo reportado por Bastida et al 36 duplica el costo documentado en nuestro estudio.…”

Respecto a los costos indirectos, nuestras estimaciones muestran un valor monetario diez veces mayor al reportado por Albert & Cloutier 35 , mientras que el costo reportado por Bastida et al 36 duplica el costo documentado en nuestro estudio. Estas diferencias pueden deberse al tamaño de las poblaciones principalmente, y en un segundo lugar, a los métodos empleados, por ejemplo Bastida et al 36 , incluyeron las muertes prematuras en su estimación de costos indirectos.…”

“…Most of these studies on costing of road traffi c injuries are based on secondary data collection from insurance agencies and claim tribunals or from hospital bed occupancy. [2][3][4][5][6][7] Studies at the family level attempting to uncover the actual costs suffered by the family as a result of the crash are very limited. Thus there exists a large gap in our knowledge regarding the costs suffered by the family.…”
