Introduction: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is defined as all aggression that can cause anatomical injury or functional involvement of the scalp, skull bones, meninges, brains. Traffic accidents, motorcycle accidents, falls and urban violence are among the main occurrences of trauma, more common in evils. The mechanism of trauma can be penetrating, or blunt and brain lesions can be classified as primary and secondary. Trauma is a preventable public health problem, with high morbidity rates in an economically and socially active age group. Objective: Identify, in the scientific literature, articles describing the epidemiological profile and factors related to traumatic brain injury. Methods: Narrative and descriptive bibliographic research, using specific health sciences descriptors: craniocerebral trauma; cerebrovascular trauma; traumatic brain injuries; closed head trauma; penetrating head trauma, which were crossed with the general descriptors: health profile, epidemiology. Complete scientific articles, available in full, free of charge, written in the Brazilian Portuguese (Brazil) and published from January 2017 to April 2022 were included. Results: the material this research of 11 articles, it is possible to identify that the highest frequency of TBI occurs in victims aged between 20 and 30 years, demonstrating to affect economically active young people on society. Males had the most frequent occurrence of TBI in all articles analyzed, ranging from 76.2% to 94.0%. Females, on the other hand, had a variation from 6.0% to 23.8%. With about to the severity of the TBI, the mild TBI ranged from 4.1% to 38.3%, the moderate TBI ranged from 4.1% to 92.7% and the severe TBI ranged from 1.6% to 91.8%. Regarding the etiology of TBI, motorcycle accidents predominated (19.0% to 72.5%), followed by a fall (3.4% to 25.0%), hit-and-run (3.6% to 18.0%), car accidents (2.2% to 16.4%), physical aggression (2.4% to 11.0%), tool using a firearm (2.3% to 11.0%), and bicycle accidents (1.0% to 4.1%). Regarding clinical manifestations, the lowering of the level of consciousness prevailed, followed by headache, periorbital hematoma, vomiting, otorrhagia, convulsion, anisocoria and rhinorrhea. Regarding the type of treatment, the conservative presented a frequency of 31.1% to 86.4% and the surgical presented a frequency of 9.7% to 68.8%. The mean hospital stay ranged from 6.2 to 11 days and the frequency of death ranged from 9.5% to 38.6%. Conclusion: Regarding the epidemiological profile of TBI in Brazil, in the years 2017 to 2022, young male individuals prevailed, victims of motorcycle accidents, manifested by lowering the level of consciousness, being performed conservative treatment and remaining treatment and leaving for one to two hospitalized weeks in the hospital.

“…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 .…”

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.

RESUMO Introdução: avaliar o perfil epidemiológico das vítimas de acidentes de trânsito no contexto da pandemia da doença do coronavírus 2019 (COVID-19), analisar os atendimentos entre os níveis de restrição implementados (bandeiras) e comparar os dados com o período pré-pandêmico. Métodos: trata-se de um estudo transversal, com amostragem probabilística, realizado em um hospital de trauma no sul do Brasil utilizando prontuários de pacientes vítimas de acidente de trânsito entre junho de 2020 a maio de 2021. Além das variáveis epidemiológicas, coletou-se a bandeira vigente, o mecanismo de trauma, as lesões resultantes e o Revised Trauma Score (RTS). Os dados foram comparados entre as três bandeiras e a proporção de atendimentos do período pandêmico foi comparada com a do período pré-pandêmico (dezembro de 2016 a fevereiro de 2018). Resultados: observou-se que 62,2% dos pacientes foram vítimas de acidentes com motocicletas, 77,5% da amostra era do sexo masculino e que a média etária foi de 33 ± 12,4 anos. A média e mediana do RTS foram 7,5 e 7,8, respectivamente. Houve diferença significativa ao comparar o número de atendimentos ao dia entre as bandeiras amarela e vermelha (p=0,001) e laranja e vermelha (p=0,016). Constatou-se um número significativamente menor de atendimentos por acidentes de trânsito no período pandêmico quando comparado com o período pré-pandêmico. Conclusões: o perfil epidemiológico do estudo foi composto em sua maioria por homens jovens vítimas de acidentes com motocicleta. Houve menor incidência de admissões na bandeira vermelha e menor proporção de atendimentos no período da pesquisa quando comparado ao pré-pandêmico.
