“…When analyzing body regions, the thorax is not the region with the highest number of injuries, but their occurrence is related to high morbidity and mortality (17) . It is important to highlight the difficulties found when processing the thoracic region analysis due to the new coding rules presented in the AIS-05 manual.…”

Objetivo: Comparar a gravidade das lesões e do trauma mensurada pelas versões da Abbreviated Injury Scale 1998 e 2005 e verificar a mortalidade nos escores Injury Severity Score e New Injury Severity Score nas duas versões.Método: Estudo transversal e retrospectivo analisou lesões de pacientes de trauma, de três hospitais universitários do município de São Paulo, Brasil. Cada lesão foi codificada com Abbreviated Injury Scale 1998 e 2005. Os testes estatísticos aplicados foram Wilcoxon, McNemar-Bowker, Kappa e teste Z.Resultados: A comparação das duas versões resultou em discordância significante de escores em algumas regiões corpóreas. Com a versão 2005 os níveis de gravidade da lesão e do trauma foram significantemente reduzidos e a mortalidade foi mais elevada em escores mais baixos. Conclusão: Houve redução da gravidade da lesão e do trauma e alteração no percentual de mortalidade com o uso da Abbreviated Injury Scale 2005.

Objetivos. Describir el perfil epidemiológico de las personas discapacitadas por accidentes de tránsito (AT) en Perú. Materiales y métodos. Análisis secundario de la Encuesta Nacional Especializada Sobre Discapacidad (ENEDIS) del año 2012. Además, se realizó un análisis ecológico con los registros de AT del Ministerio de Transportes y Comunicaciones. Resultados. 49 036 personas reportaron algún tipo de discapacidad por accidentes de tránsito (DAT); 81,3% de los discapacitados reside en zonas urbanas. La discapacidad reportada más frecuente fue limitación en la locomoción y destreza (77,4%), seguida de la discapacidad visual (22,9%). Se reporta dependencia en 44,7% de las personas con discapacidad. Las regiones con mayor prevalencia de AT presentan mayor prevalencia de discapacidad por accidente de tránsito (Coeficiente de Spearman: 0,426, p=0,034). Conclusiones. La mayor parte de los discapacitados por AT proceden de la zona urbana, son varones y se encuentran en la edad económicamente productiva. La forma más común de limitación es la de locomoción. Gran parte de los afectados no reciben ningún tipo de rehabilitación, lo que acentúa la inequidad en salud relacionada a los accidentes de tránsito.

To describe the epidemiological profile of people living with disabilities due to traffic accidents (TA) in Peru. Materials and methods. Secondary analysis of the National Survey Specialized on Disability (ENEDIS) of 2012 and an ecological analysis of TA records of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications was done. Results. Disability by traffic accidents (DAT) was reported by 49,036 persons; 81.3% of whom live in urban areas. The most frequent disability was limited locomotion and skill (77.4%), followed by visual impairment (22.9%). Dependence for activities was reported in 44.7% of persons with disabilities. The regions with the highest prevalence of TA have a higher prevalence of disability by traffic accidents (Spearman coefficient: 0.426, p=0.034). Conclusions. Most of disability due to TA is found in urban areas, correspond to males and consist of persons in economically productive age. The most common form of disability is in locomotion. Most of individuals do not receive any form of rehabilitation, which accentuates health inequity related to traffic accidents.

This study characterizes traffic accidents involving motorcycles according to local conditions, data concerning the type of accident, date and time, and identifies among these variables those associated with the death of victims. This retrospective study uses data from traffic collision reports from 2004 and death records from the institute of forensic medicine. A total of 99.4% of the events occurred in urban areas, where illumination (87.4%), weather conditions (80.6%); and traffic signs (70.6%) were satisfactory. Collisions between motorcycles and cars or pickup trucks prevailed (55.5%), followed by motorcycle falls (18.0%). In relation to the type of collision, the highest percentage was observed in broadside collision category (35.2%). There were differences between the groups of fatalities and survivors in relation to the area and illumination in the collision's site, in addition to the types of collision and impact. The conclusion is that local conditions and types of collision and impact stand out among the multiple variables defining the severity of accidents involving motorcycles.Descriptors: Accidents, Traffic; Mortality; External Causes. Ocurrencias de tránsito con motocicleta y su relación con la mortalidadSe tuvo por objetivo caracterizar las ocurrencias de tránsito con motocicleta, según condiciones locales, datos relacionados al tipo de accidente, fecha y hora, además de identificar entre esas variables las que se asociaron con la muerte de las víctimas. Se trata de un estudio retrospectivo utilizando datos de los Boletines de Ocurrencia de Tránsito referentes al año de 2.004 y los registros de muerte del Instituto Médico Legal.El 99,4% de las ocurrencias sucedieron en área urbana, en locales donde las condiciones de luminosidad (87,4%), condición meteorológica (80,6%) y señalización (70,6%) eran satisfactorias. Predominó la colisión de motocicleta con automóvil o camioneta (55,5%) y las caídas de motocicleta fueron las más frecuentes (18,0%). En el tipo de impacto, el mayor porcentaje fue observado en la categoría colisión transversal (35,2%). El grupo de muertos difirió en relación a los sobreviventes en cuanto al área y luminosidad del local de la ocurrencia, además del tipo de accidente e impacto. Se concluye que las condiciones locales, tipos de accidente e impacto se destacan entre las múltiples dimensiones que envuelven la gravedad de las ocurrencias con motociclistas.
