“…Among the vehicles specifi ed, there was a higher proportion of passenger vehicles, and the highest number of deaths occurred in pedestrians under 15 when compared to other RTA in this age group (64% in 2000 and 67% in 2005). In the city of Uberlândia, 46% of injured victims from zero to 14 years of age 25 were cyclists and 31% pedestrians. Among the most severely injured (admission to an intensive care unit), 81% were pedestrians and 7% cyclists.…”

O artigo descreve a situação dos acidentes de trânsito no Brasil, desde a implementação do Código de Trânsito Brasileiro de 1998 até o ano de 2010. Foi realizada análise dos principais trabalhos científicos e publicações não acadêmicas nacionais. A revisão de literatura incluiu periódicos indexados, não indexados, relatórios técnicos, busca específica por autores, referências bibliográficas de artigos e contato com pesquisadores. Os principais problemas do trânsito brasileiro identificados foram aumento do número absoluto de mortos e das taxas de mortalidade, ampliação da frota de motocicletas e o uso de álcool. Foram identificados autores influentes e ilhas de produção de conhecimento nas áreas pesquisadas. Os autores apresentam algumas possíveis soluções e sugerem que o poder público não tem assumido a responsabilidade que lhe cabe no controle e redução dos acidentes de trânsito.

“…Deslandes and Silva [4] found that 69.3% of the victims of traffic accidents were male and the most affected age group was 20-39 years (60.5% in one hospital and 47.5% in the other). Freitas et al [7] noted the predominance of males (65.7%) of different ages (mean age 8 to 41 years) as victims of traffic accidents involving two vehicles and four wheels.…”

“…Baracat et al [1] also found that the upper and lower limbs were the most affected body parts, accounting for 40.7% of the accidents in the sample studied. Freitas et al [7] found that the upper and lower limbs accounted for 42% of the injured body part.…”

“…One study was conducted by Dolci [5], in 2003, aiming to map the incidence and events of accidents caused by products and services that required hospital medical care involving multiple partners in Research hospitals in the city of São Paulo. Baracat et al [1] evaluated accidents with children in Campinas, state of São Paulo, and Salponik [16] in the city of Salvador, state of Bahia; Deslandes and Silva [4] conducted a study in two public hospitals and Freitas et al [7] in one hospital, both studies in the city of Rio de Janeiro, to evaluate traffic-related accidents.…”

This article presents a study on the accidents related to the use of products and services, as recorded at two emergency hospitals at the city São Luís, Brazil. The goal of the study was to evaluate the main types and causes of unintentional acccidents as well as the more frequent injuries for further improvement of products and services. The study evaluated the victims profile (gender and age), the circumstances (activity, local and time) that lead to the accidents and the type of resulted injury. Non-parametric statistics showed that 83.64% of the accidents were related to products (57.6% of them being consumer products) and 8.6% are related to maintenance services. 57.6% of the victims were children under 15 years old, and 58.4% were male. 50.2% of accidents occurred at home, more often (44.7%) in the afternoon. The most common injuriy was musculoesqueletal (48.6%), 49.0% being cranioencephalic trauma and 15.2% fractures.

“…The lower number of deaths among bicycle occupants, whose vulnerability has been identified by descriptive studies 3,25 , may be explained by the fact that bicycles are still not a common means of local transportation, probably due to cultural issues and the city's hilly relief.…”

Urban road traffic deaths: data linkage and identification of high-risk population sub-groups

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study analyzes the profile of deaths from road traffic accidents in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, by linking two public databases, the Information System of the Urban Transportation and Transit Company (BH10) and the Mortality Information System (SIM). The linked database (n = 306) identified a 24% under-recording rate for deaths and differed in the age distribution from the BH10 database and in roadway user category when compared to the mortality database. The mortality rate for road traffic accidents within the city limits was 10.2 per 100,000 thousand, and was higher among men, young adults, and the elderly. Poisson multivariate regression showed a higher mean death rate for motorcycle occupants (rate ratio – RR: 1.81); pedestrians (RR: 1.32); males (RR: 1.24); single/divorced (RR: 1.27); young adults 18-29 years of age (RR: 1.75); elderly (RR: 1.59); and deaths at the crash site (RR: 1.39) when compared to the reference categories. The study unveils the city’s traffic violence, expressed by the large proportion of deaths at the crash site and within the first 24 hours, and confirms the relevance of database linkage for characterizing vulnerable groups and traffic accident mortality in the urban setting.
