“…During the pandemic period, there was a significantly lower proportion of attendances for traffic accidents compared with the pre-pandemic period (n=426 vs n=658) in the same hospital 18 , largely coinciding with other studies 20 , 21 , 30 - 33 . The restriction measures instituted by the City Hall, the closing of non-essential services, and the introduction of the home office system by several companies restricted the movement of vehicles and pedestrians in the city, which corroborates the result of this study.…”

“…We observed that the epidemiological profile of traffic accidents during the analyzed period was that of young men who were victims of accidents involving motorcycles, which strongly coincides with what was found in the literature 20 - 22 . This predominance can be explained by the exponential growth in demand for home delivery services during the pandemic, in view of social distancing measures 21 , 23 . The need for fast deliveries may have generated long and stressful working hours, inducing fatigue and distractions in traffic and, consequently, an increased risk of negligence and involvement in accidents 24 .…”

“…The need for fast deliveries may have generated long and stressful working hours, inducing fatigue and distractions in traffic and, consequently, an increased risk of negligence and involvement in accidents 24 . In addition, the prevalence of males in the 18-29 age group can usually be explained by the social and cultural behavior of this population 21 . Greater tendency to drive at high speed, disrespecting traffic rules, and drinking alcohol or using drugs before driving are reckless behaviors that make young people the main victims of traffic accidents 21 , 25 .…”

“…The high percentage of helmet use by victims of motorcycle accidents in this study proved to be more promising when compared to other previous articles in the literature, in which adherence was close to 30% 25 . Furthermore, these findings may be linked to the low percentage of patients who had TBI (8.7%), since not using helmets makes them more susceptible and vulnerable to this injury 21 . In general, motorcyclists and cyclists are more likely to experience multiple trauma due to increased exposure during impact with other vehicles or bulkheads.…”

Objective: to assess the epidemiological profile of traffic accident victims in the setting of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and analyze the admissions throughout the different levels of restriction (flags), as well as compare the results with the pre-pandemic period. Methods: a cross-sectional study was performed, with probability sampling, in a trauma center in Brazil. Medical records of patients involved in traffic accidents from June 2020 to May 2021 were evaluated. Aside from epidemiological characteristics, variables such as the current flag, the trauma mechanism, the resulting injuries, and the Revised Trauma Score (RTS) were also considered. Data were compared between three different flag periods and the proportion of consultations during the pandemic was compared with that from pre-pandemic time (December 2016 to February 2018). Results: it was observed that 62.2% of the patients were victims of motorcycle accidents, 77.5% were male, and the mean age was 33 ± 12.4 years. The mean and median RTS were 7.5 and 7.8, respectively. Statistical difference was stated when comparing the number of visits per day between the yellow and red flags (p=0.001) and orange and red flags (p=0.016). A significantly lower number of consultations for traffic accidents was observed in the pandemic when compared to the pre-pandemic period. Conclusions: the epidemiological profile of the study consisted mostly of young men who were victims of motorcycle accidents. There was a lower incidence of admissions during red flag periods and a lower proportion of consultations throughout the survey when compared to the pre-pandemic period.

Objetivos: conhecer o perfil clínico e epidemiológico de pacientes com diagnóstico de Traumatismo Craneoencefálico (TCE) que evoluíram para morte encefálica (ME) e o período decorrido entre a abertura de protocolo e a declaração de ME. Métodos: Estudo descritivo, observacional do tipo transversal e retrospectivo. Resultados: os pacientes que evoluíram para ME por causa traumática em 2020 foi predominantemente do sexo masculino, com idade de 51 e 60 anos, com maior incidência por queda de altura (> 2m). O tempo médio de fechamento de protocolo de ME foi de 40,8 horas. Corroborando com a literatura, as principais causas de morte encefálica são provocados por agravos externos como o TCE. Conclusão: as características dos pacientes diagnosticados com TCE que evoluíram para ME, em um ano tão atípico como foi o da pandemia, alerta para a construção de medidas preventivas futuras para a redução de traumas por causas evitáveis.

O traumatismo cranioencefálico (TCE) é definido como um conjunto de agressões ocasionadas por fatores externos, que geram danos anatômicos ou funcionais no couro cabeludo, crânio, meninges e encéfalo. Devido seu impacto, esse estudo teve com objetivo analisar a morbimortalidade por TCE em Minas Gerais no período de 2011 a 2020. Trata-se de estudo retrospectivo, descritivo, quantitativo, de base documental com método comparativo-estatístico, com amostra composta pelas internações ocorridas por TCE em Minas Gerais, no período de janeiro de 2011 a dezembro de 2020. Utilizou-se os dados do DATASUS, estudando as variáveis: sexo, faixa etária, cor/raça, número de internações, prevalência das internações nas macrorregiões de saúde, regime e caráter das internações, média de permanência, óbitos, taxa de mortalidade e gastos hospitalares. No período analisado, foram registradas 111.809 internações por TCE em Minas Gerais, com predomínio na macrorregião Centro (32,22%), e com taxa de mortalidade média de 8,85%, com maioria na macrorregião Leste (13,48%). Sobre os dados sociodemográficos e clínicos, predominou-se o sexo masculino (75,91%), faixa etária de 20-29 anos (13,97%) e cor/raça parda (43,06%). Os atendimentos ocorreram, em maior parte, em caráter de urgência (93,49%), regime privado (26,48%) e média de permanência de 5,3 dias. Quanto aos gastos, o valor total foi 235.418.917,39 reais, com 26,12% destinados ao sistema público. Em relação aos óbitos, sua maioria foi no sexo masculino (80,29%), faixa etária de 50-59 anos (14,21%), cor/raça parda (46,28%), no regime público (25,22%) e em caráter de urgência (93,43%). Sendo assim, torna-se um problema de saúde pública, levando a um elevado número de óbitos, invalidez e gastos públicos, tornando necessária a implantação de medidas preventivas para acidentes e investimento no atendimento pré e intra-hospitalar.
