BACKGROUND
Motorcycle accidents are a considerable cause of morbidity and mortality in Brazil, with high social and economic costs. Victims are mostly men, young and vulnerable.
OBJECTIVE
To characterize motorcycle accident victims and circumstances among patients admitted to a public hospital.
METHODS
We administered a questionnaire to 74 victims of motorcycle accidents in the period from January through July 2018 among patients admitted to a referral hospital for elective orthopedic surgery in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil.
RESULTS
Most victims were male (98.4%), up to 31 years old (49%), black or brown (84%) and had low educational level (54%). Motorcycling was the occupation of 50.8%. Drinking was less frequent among motorcyclists in the capital compared to the interior of the state (16 vs. 26%) and a larger proportion had a driving license (72 vs. 39%).
CONCLUSION
Main victims of motorcycling accident victims were male, with low educational level, and without a driving license. Actions are needed to promote road safety, including educational programs to protect life and reduce the social and economic costs of accidents.
背景
在巴西，摩托车事故是导致发病和死亡的一个重要原因，造成了高昂的社会和经济成本。受害者大多为年轻且易受伤害的男性。
目的
描述一家公立医院收治的摩托车事故受害者及其事故情况。
方法
2018年1月至7月期间，我们对巴西巴伊亚州萨尔瓦多一家转诊医院收治的74名择期骨科手术患者中的摩托车事故受害者进行了问卷调查。
结果
大多数受害者为男性（98.4%），年龄在31岁及以下（49%），为黑人或棕色人种（84%），且教育水平较低（54%）。50.8%的受害者职业为骑摩托车。与该州内陆地区相比，首府城市骑摩托车者饮酒的频率较低（分别为16%和26%），且拥有驾照的比例更高（分别为72%和39%）。
结论
摩托车事故受害者主要为男性，教育水平低，且没有驾照。需要采取行动促进道路安全，包括开展保护生命及降低事故社会和经济成本的教育项目。
