This study estimated the economic costs of permanent disability caused by road traffic injuries in Mexico during 2012. From the health system's perspective, a bottom-up approach was used to calculate direct medical costs (hospitalization, outpatient care, rehabilitation, and prostheses). From society's perspective, using a human capital approach, indirect costs were associated with loss of productivity for the victims and their caregivers. Permanent disability due to road traffic injuries takes a high toll on the health system and Mexican society. From the health system perspective, the cost was US$269,529,480.72, or US$1,496.33 per victim. The estimated average cost to society was US$3,445.45 during the first year. The total average cost per victim was US$4,941.77, resulting in a total economic cost of US$1,119,761,632.53 during 2012. The study's findings highlight the need to design and implement more rigorous and efficient public policies to control and prevent road traffic injuries in Mexico.
本研究估算了2012年墨西哥道路交通伤害导致的永久性残疾的经济成本。从卫生系统的角度来看，采用自下而上的方法来计算直接医疗成本（住院、门诊护理、康复和假肢）。从社会的角度来看，采用人力资本方法，间接成本与受害者及其照顾者的生产力损失相关。道路交通伤害导致的永久性残疾给卫生系统和墨西哥社会造成了沉重负担。从卫生系统的角度来看，成本为269529480.72美元，即每位受害者1496.33美元。第一年对社会的估计平均成本为3445.45美元。每位受害者的总平均成本为4941.77美元，2012年的总经济成本为1119761632.53美元。该研究的结果凸显了在墨西哥设计和实施更严格、更有效的公共政策以控制和预防道路交通伤害的必要性。
