Resumo: This study describes the temporal evolution of mortality due to traffic accidents in regions within Bahia State, Brazil, from 1996 to 2007, using data from the Brazilian Mortality Information System. We calculated overall rates of mortality due to traffic accidents and specific rates by type of victim. Temporal evolution was analyzed by means of correlations between rates and years of study, as well as polynomial regression models to evaluate trends. During the study period, the regions analyzed accounted for 60% of deaths due to traffic accidents in Bahia. Excess mortality among males and superior percentage of deaths in young individuals were observed. Overall, the evolution of global rates showed decreases beginning in 1998, but growth resumption in 2000, although the trend was not statistically significant. Regional differences were more marked when analyzing rates according to type of victim. However, a growing trend was observed in most locations for rates of accidents involving motorcyclists, which, in conjunction with other findings, substantiates concerns regarding the current situation of increased deaths involving motorcycles in Brazil.

Se calcularon tasas globales de mortalidad por accidentes de tráfico y específicas por tipo de víctima. La evolución fue analizada por medio de una correlación entre esas tasas y los años del estudio, además de modelos de regresión polinomial para evaluar la tendencia. Durante el período, las regiones estudiadas concentraron un 60% de las muertes por accidentes de tráfico ocurridas en el estado. Se observó sobremortalidad masculina y mayor porcentaje de óbitos en individuos jóvenes. En general, la evolución de las tasas globales mostró un decremento a partir de 1998, pero retomó el crecimiento en 2000, sin revelar una tendencia definida. Las diferencias regionales fueron más marcantes cuando se analizaron las tasas según tipos de víctima, sin embargo, en la mayoría de los lugares se observó una tendencia creciente hacia tasas de accidentes con motociclistas, respaldando, con otros hallazgos, las preocupaciones por la coyuntura actual de muertes en el país donde están involucradas motocicletas.O estudo descreve a evolução temporal da mortalidade por acidentes de trânsito em regiões da Bahia, Brasil, entre 1996 e 2007, a partir de dados do Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade.

No período, as regiões estudadas concentraram 60% das mortes por acidentes de trânsito ocorridas no estado.

No geral, a evolução das taxas globais mostrou decréscimo a partir de 1998, mas teve retomada de crescimento em 2000, sem revelar tendência. As diferenças regionais foram mais marcantes quando as taxas foram analisadas segundo tipos de vítima, no entanto, na maioria dos locais, foi observada tendência crescente para taxas de acidentes com motociclistas, sustentando, com outros achados, as preocupações com a conjuntura atual das mortes envolvendo motocicletas no país.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2013-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/5137Reports in Public Health; Vol. 29 No. 1 (2013): JanuaryCadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 29 n. 1 (2013): Janeiro1678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/5137/10523https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/5137/10524Rios, Polianna Alves AndradeMota, Eduardo Luiz Andradeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:28:33Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/5137Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:05:55.350953Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true
