Resumo
Transport accidents are currently one of the world s main public health
problems. The aim of this investigation is to describe the profile of transport
injury victims attended at Hospital de Urgências de Goiânia (HUGO) and of
victims who deceased in these accidents, with age 15 to 24 years, residents in
Goiânia, Goiás - Brazil. It also describes the circumstances involved in these
accidents. This descriptive transversal study was carried out in the city of
Goiânia from August 2005 to August 2006 with systematic sampling,
considering the day of the week and the time of the day. At that period were
interviewed 301 victims attended at HUGO, the main Emergency Service
Center of the city, and the family of 62 cases of death occurred in the
municipality. The data were treated by descriptive statistics. Most victims
attended at HUGO and most of those who died were male, mean age 19.94 ±
2.73 years. The main transport used by the victims attended at HUGO was the
motorcycle (67.33%), followed by the bicycle (16.67%). The motorcycle was the
most used by fatal victims (66.67%) as well. The accidents usually occurred at
night, especially around 6 pm to 9 pm and at weekends (fridays and sundays).
The victims were generally on the way to do physical, sportive, school, leisure
or entertaining activities at that time. Those who were doing paid work had the
accident between 6 am and 9 am. Suspicion of alcohol use was confirmed in
15.16% of the cases attended at HUGO and by 26.31% of the family of fatal
victims. The victims attended at HUGO were the drivers in 77.11% of the
motorcycle accidents and 92.00% of bicycle accidents, as well as in 76.92% of
the fatal victims. There were victims under 18 years of age identified as drivers
of automobiles and motorcycles. In proportion (p<0.05), more motorcyclists
(66.48%) believed that there was imprudence/ negligence than the cyclists
(47.72%) attended at HUGO. Security equipment was not used by 8.58% of
motorcyclists, by 95.45% of cyclists attended at HUGO and by 12.5% of the
motorcyclists who died. The safety belt was not used by 50.00% of the attended
at HUGO and by 60.00% of who died. The results indicate a need for a
differentiated look at motorcyclists, which justifies a specific approach to this
group, as well as measures of inspection, giving priority to the periods of night
and weekends. The service of attending victims must be planned, adjusting the
amount of human, material and equipment resources, and the seasonality of
accidents. The epidemiologic profile of the victims provides important
information for administrators to implement politics of promoting health and
preventing injury transport, which takes intersectional and multiprofessional
actions to confront the problem.
