“…En nuestro estudio, los siniestros de tránsito se presentan más en hombres, jóvenes, con licencia de conducción al día, que en su mayoría manejaron con exceso de velocidad y desobedecieron las señales o normas de tránsito, hallazgos similares a lo reportado por otros autores [11][12][13] .…”

“…Por otra parte, la mediana de costos por siniestro de tránsito fue de US$ 56 (RI = 29,35-140,15) y el promedio 290,11 ± 731,22 (IC95% 239,74-340,48) correspondiente solo a los gastos médicos derivados de su permanencia en el hospital, podría considerarse como un costo bajo comparado con el estudio realizado en Irán donde el promedio del costo está en US$ 9,024 11 , pero se debe tener en cuenta que en nuestro estudio no se incluyeron costos indirectos, costos por pérdida de productividad derivada del accidente que, según otros estudios, pueden ser más altos que los netamente relacionados a la atención en salud debido al accidente 15,18,19 .…”

“…En nuestro estudio se encontró una relación estadísticamente significativa de los costos por accidentes de tránsito con la edad, portar licencia y seguro al día, la gravedad del accidente según la clasificación realizada por la dirección de tránsito y la parte del cuerpo afectada, similar a lo reportado en estudio llevado a cabo en Irán 11 . También, se observó relación estadísticamente significativa entre la gravedad de la lesión y el aumento de los costos similar a lo reportado en un estudio en Haití donde los pacientes lesionados en accidentes de carretera representaron el mayor costo con un valor promedio de US$ 1,220 22 .…”

“…La mortalidad por esta problemática fue de 18,3, y los años de vida perdidos fueron 817,4 por cada 100.000 habitantes 2 . En Colombia, durante el año 2019 la tasa de siniestros de tránsito fue de 1.214, con tasa de mortalidad de 14,6 (IC95% 11,[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]6) por 100.000 habitantes, esta última corresponde al 3,13% del total de muertes en el país, posicionándose en la novena causa de muerte. La mortalidad es mayor en hombres con 24 por 100.000 hab.…”

OBJETIVO Determinar los factores relacionados con los costos generales durante la atención en salud de siniestros de tránsito en Bucaramanga, Colombia. MÉTODOS Estudio descriptivo, transversal, con análisis de registros de siniestros de tránsito durante 2019 en Bucaramanga, Colombia. Se realizó una comparación entre cuartiles de los costos en dólares con pruebas estadísticas de Chi-cuadrado de Pearson y exacta de Fisher. También, se calcularon odds ratio en regresión logística. RESULTADOS En 2019 se registraron 3.150 siniestros, con 7.038 personas involucradas, de los cuales 812 tenían información de costos generados por atención en instituciones de salud. La mediana de costos fue US$ 56,59 (RI = 29,35–140,15), promedio de US$ 290,11 ± 731,22 (IC95% 239,74–340,48). Se observó mayor posibilidad para estar en cuartil 4 de los costos si la persona tenía menos de 18 años (OR = 4,88; IC95% 1,30–18,32) o entre los 46–60 años de edad (OR = 3,66; IC95% 1,01–13,30), cuando el tipo de vehículo es la motocicleta (OR = 2,79; IC95% 1,25–6,24) y la bicicleta (OR = 7,66; IC95% 2,70–21,68), si la lesión ocurre en la cabeza (OR = 4,50; IC95% 2,61–7,76) y si la hipótesis está relacionada con embriaguez (OR = 12,44; IC95% 2,01–76,87). CONCLUSIÓN Los factores relevantes en los costos fueron la motocicleta, bicicleta, lesión en la cabeza, ser menor de 18 años o tener entre los 46 años y los 60 años y embriaguez como hipótesis. Es relevante implementar medidas de prevención según los factores identificados para disminuir la accidentalidad y, por ende, sus costos socioeconómicos.

“…Although in August hospitals’ admissions are not affected by seasonal epidemics or air pollution, as they are during autumn and winter [ 15 – 17 ] and elective surgeries may decrease in summer, several studies show summer trips increase the number of road accidents during summer. Considering that August is in the middle of summer, in terms of summer trips, it has a more normal situation than the beginning and end of summer months [ 18 – 20 ].…”

Background The absence of a referral system and patients’ freedom to choose among service providers in Iran have led to increased patient mobility, which continues to concern health policymakers in the country. This study aimed to determine factors associated with patient mobility rates within the provinces of Iran. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in Iran. Data on the place of residence of patients admitted to Iranian public hospitals were collected during August 2017 to determine the status of patient mobility within each province. The sample size were 537,786 patients were hospitalized in public hospitals in Iran during August 2017. The patient mobility ratio was calculated for each of Iran’s provinces by producing a patient mobility matrix. Then, a model of factors affecting patient mobility was identified by regression analysis. All the analyses were performed using STATA14 software. Results In the study period, 585,681 patients were admitted to public hospitals in Iran, of which 69,692 patients were referred to the hospital from another city and 51,789 of them were admitted to public hospitals in the capital of the province. The highest levels of intra-provincial patient mobility were attributed to southern and eastern provinces, and the lowest levels were observed in the north and west of Iran. Implementation of negative binomial regression indicated that, among the examined parameters, the distribution of specialist physicians and the human development index had the highest impact on intra-provincial patient mobility. Conclusion The distribution of specialists throughout different country areas plays a determining role in patient mobility. In many cases, redistributing hospital beds is impossible, but adopting different human resource policies could prevent unnecessary patient mobility through equitable redistribution of specialists among different cities.

Background: Conspicuity has been one of the key factors in motorcycle road crashes around the world. The inability and difficulty of other road users in detecting motorcycles either at day or at night have contributed to conspicuity related motorcycle crashes. This literature review attempts to understand the motorcycle conspicuity issues in road traffic. The review also analyses relevant types of conspicuity intervention in terms of its effectiveness in enhancing motorcycle conspicuity that had been discussed in past studies. Methods: Using specific keywords and search terms, relevant articles were screened, identified and analyzed systematically using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Results: Twenty-seven final articles were reviewed and found that almost every part of motorcycle and motorcyclist’s conspicuity intervention have been covered in past studies. In terms of conspicuity aids, the majority of past studies discussed conspicuity enhancement in the frontal area, particularly on motorcycle daytime running headlight (DRH) color and configurations. Few other studies have discussed in other areas, particularly on rear running and brake light and motorcycle color. There were also numerous studies looking at motorcyclists’ appearances in terms of their attire and helmet color. Conclusion: Motorcycle and motorcyclist’s appearances are highly associated with the risk of motorcycle crashes. The most important part of enhancing motorcycle conspicuity is to ensure motorcycle appearance is always in contrast with the road traffic environment.
