Overview
ABSTRACT Objectives: to describe traffic accidents involving motorcyclists and analyze the association between possession of a motorcycle driver’s license and use of helmets according to the severity of injuries. Methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted among all patients hospitalized in the traumatology and orthopedics sector of a public reference hospital in northeastern Brazil. Results: 170 patients were surveyed, the majority were male (95.9%). Their ages ranged from 18 to 67 years. Most were black or brown (52.3%), had completed elementary school (58.9%) and had monthly income smaller than two minimum wages (56.5%). An association was found between being licensed to drive a motorcycle and wearing a helmet. Among those who suffered moderate injuries, this association was OR=5.66(1.85-17.23) and among those who suffered severe injuries it was OR=13.57(2.82-65.14). Conclusions: people who were licensed to drive motorcycles used a helmet as protective equipment more often and, in accidents, suffered fewer injuries. RESUMO Objetivos: descrever os acidentes de trânsito envolvendo motociclistas e analisar a associação entre ter habilitação para conduzir motocicletas e uso de capacete com a gravidade dos acidentes. Métodos: estudo transversal com todos os pacientes hospitalizados no setor de traumatologia e ortopedia de um hospital público de referência no Nordeste do Brasil. Resultados: foram pesquisados 170 pacientes, a maioria do sexo masculino (95,9%). A idade variou entre 18 e 67 anos. Os pesquisados eram de cor preta ou parda (52,3%), tinham estudo fundamental (58,9%) e renda mensal menor que dois salários mínimos (56,5%). Foi encontrada uma associação entre ter habilitação e uso de capacete. Entre os que sofreram acidentes de gravidade moderada, essa associação foi OR=5,66(1,85-17,23) e entre os que sofreram acidentes de gravidade severa foi OR=13,57(2,82-65,14). Conclusões: pessoas com licença para conduzir motocicletas que usam capacetes como equipamento de proteção, em caso de acidentes, sofrem lesões menos graves. RESUMEN Objetivos: describir los accidentes de tránsito con los motociclistas y evaluar la asociación entre el permiso para conducir motocicletas y el uso del casco con la gravedad de los accidentes. Métodos: estudio transversal, realizado a los pacientes hospitalizados en el sector de Traumatología y Ortopedia de un hospital público de referencia de la región Nordeste de Brasil. Resultados: participaron 170 pacientes; la mayoría de ellos del sexo masculino (95,9%), de edad entre 18 y 67 años. Los encuestados eran negros o pardos (52,3%), tenían estudios primarios (58,9%), ingresos mensuales inferiores a dos salarios mínimos (56,5%). Se encontró una asociación entre tener el permiso de conducir y llevar casco. Entre los que sufrieron accidentes moderados, esta asociación fue OR=5,66(1,85-17,23), y entre los que sufrieron accidentes graves fue OR=13,57(2,82-65,14). Conclusiones: las personas con permiso para conducir motocicletas que utilizaron casco como equipo de protección sufrieron lesiones menos graves en los accidentes.
