“…Another study using the same density estimation method found that crashes were more frequent in areas of high human activity such as airports, ferry terminals, and business districts. 39 Comparable results were obtained in the present study where four hotspots ( Figure 4 : hotspots 3, 4, 5, and 6) serve the seaport, the international market, and the administrative and business centers of Cotonou. The other two hotspots see large daily flows of users between their residences in the suburbs of Cotonou or in neighboring towns and their workplaces in Cotonou ( Figure 4 : hotspots 1 and 2).…”

Purpose The aim of this study was to determine, using geographic information system (GIS), the spatial characteristics and factors associated with injury crashes among vulnerable road users (VRUs) in Cotonou, Benin. Patients and Methods This study was based on road crash data collected by the police in Cotonou from 2008 to 2017. Spatial analyses were performed using density method of QGIS cartography software to identify road crash hotspot for VRUs. Logistic regression analysis was conducted using Stata 15 software. Finally, field observations were used to assess the physical characteristics of the road environment at each hotspot. Results From 2008 to 2017, six main crash hotspots involving VRUs were identified on the roads of Cotonou. The majority were located at intersections of main roads. These sites did not meet the standards for traffic safety for VRUs. Factors associated with injury crashes among VRUs were intersections (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 3.3; 95% CI: 1.8–6.1) and pavement condition (aOR = 7; 95% CI: 2.9–17.1). Conclusion The present study has made it possible to identify the locations on Cotonou’s road network where road safety interventions could be implemented to protect VRUs.

“…É imprescindível destacar também que mais da metade de todas as mortes no trânsito ocorrem entre os usuários mais vulneráveis das vias, com evidência para pedestres 18,19 , ciclistas [20][21][22] e motociclistas 23 . Particularmente, no que se refere às lesões mais frequentes decorrentes dos ATT, destacam-se as fraturas [24][25][26][27] , os traumatismos cranianos 28 , os traumas raquimedulares 29 e as amputações 30,31 , acometimentos que podem induzir a morte 32 .…”

Introdução: os acidentes de trânsito terrestre (ATT) representam um problema de saúde pública de grande relevância, que tem provocado impacto na morbimortalidade da população brasileira. Assim, torna-se premente a busca de soluções que visem a melhorar a segurança no trânsito e reduzir os ATT, que comprometem e oneram diferentes setores da sociedade e a qualidade de vida das vítimas. Objetivo: estimar tendências acerca da morbimortalidade por ATT na Bahia, entre 2011 e 2021. Metodologia: trata-se de um estudo ecológico, quantitativo, descritivo, realizado mediante análise dos dados populacionais do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS) acerca dos indivíduos que sofreram ATT na Bahia, entre 2011 e 2021. Resultados: foram registrados 2.268 óbitos e 102.490 internações, com maior ocorrência na macrorregião de Salvador, com o sexo masculino, cor parda, faixa etária entre 20 e 29 anos, mais frequente entre os motociclistas, seguidos dos pedestres. Observou-se tendência de aumento no número de internações, nos dias de permanência hospitalar e nos valores dos serviços associados, bem como variabilidade do número de óbitos e redução da taxa de mortalidade. As fraturas dos ossos da tíbia e clavícula, do antebraço e fêmur foram os procedimentos cirúrgicos com maior quantidade de internações relacionadas. Conclusão: os dados evidenciaram uma tendência de aumento do número de traumas, lesões, internações, óbitos e custos decorrentes dos ATT. Destarte, almeja-se que os Resultados do presente estudo subsidiem discussões e políticas públicas que intensifiquem as medidas de segurança no trânsito, com vistas a reduzir a incidência dos ATT e suas consequências socioeconômicas.
