Resumo: Traffic accidents determine early losses of lives and sequels with a high cost to society. No country is safe from this tragedy and this accumulation of suffering, punishing particularly the young people and bringing social and economic consequences extremely important. This research aimed to make a descriptive analysis of physical and functional sequels deriving to traffic accidents of victms attended by the Medico Legal Institute Estácio de Lima, Maceió/AL, Brazil in 2006. It consists of a cross and retrospective epidemiological study. Three hundred and seventy-seven reports of body injury were analyzed, covering the period January to December 2006. Of those reports, 48.8% of the victims presented sequels. The victims investigated were characterized by being, in the majority, youths and young adults (56.8%), males (76.9%). The highest number of accidents was the automobile (77.7%). Most of the accidents had serious injuries (35%), of which 53% of these had some kind of sequel. The light injuries accounted for 34.7% of the total and the serious, 30.3%. The sequels were grouped into four groups: permanent weakness (49%), permanent deformity (37%) incurable disease (6%) and loss or invalidity of the limb, sense or function (8%). From the viewpoint of Collective Health, this study contributed to more epidemiological data that could serve as a basis for assessing the situation of traffic accidents and planning of actions and services in order to seek a change of safety standards in transit, as well as to warn the public of the importance of prevention.

Nenhum país se encontra salvo dessa tragédia e desse acúmulo de sofrimento, castigando de maneira muito particular aos jovens e trazendo conseqüências sociais e econômicas sumamente importantes. Essa pesquisa teve como objetivo fazer uma análise descritiva das sequelas físicas e funcionais decorrentes de acidentes de trânsito de vítimas atendidas pelo Instituto Médico Legal Estácio de Lima, Maceió/AL no ano de 2006. Consiste em um estudo epidemiológico transversal e retrospectivo. Foram analisados 377 laudos de lesões corporais, correspondentes ao período de janeiro a dezembro de 2006. Dos laudos analisados, 48,8% das vítimas apresentaram sequelas. As vítimas investigadas caracterizaram-se por serem, em sua maioria, jovens e adultos jovens (56,8%), do sexo masculino (76,9%). O maior número de acidentes foi os automobilísticos (77,7%). A maioria dos acidentes causou lesões graves (35%), sendo que destas, 53% tiveram algum tipo de sequela. As lesões leves representaram 34,7% do total e as gravíssimas, 30,3%. As sequelas foram agrupadas em quatro grupos: debilidade permanente (49%), deformidade permanente (37%) enfermidade incurável (6%) e perda ou inutilização de membro, sentido ou função (8%). Do ponto de vista da Saúde Coletiva, tal estudo contribuiu com mais dados epidemiológicos que possam servir de base para a avaliação da situação dos acidentes de trânsito e o planejamento das ações e dos serviços no sentido de buscar uma mudança das normas de segurança no trânsito, assim como alertar a população da importância da prevenção.Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade (SBMFC)2010-03-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigos Originais; Original Articlesapplication/pdfhttps://www.rbmfc.org.br/rbmfc/article/view/20110.5712/rbmfc5(17)201Revista Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade; Vol. 5 No. 17 (2010); 38-41Revista Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade; Vol. 5 Núm. 17 (2010); 38-41Revista Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade; v. 5 n. 17 (2010); 38-412179-79941809-5909reponame:Revista Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade (Online)instname:Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade (SBMFC)instacron:SBMFCporhttps://www.rbmfc.org.br/rbmfc/article/view/201/153Copyright (c) 2010 Maria Luisa Duarte, Érica Carla Figueiredo de Souza, Paula Graziela Figueredo Bonfiminfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDuarte, Maria LuisaSouza, Érica Carla Figueiredo deBonfim, Paula Graziela Figueredo2020-05-21T20:22:05Zoai:ojs.rbmfc.org.br:article/201Revistahttp://www.rbmfc.org.br/index.php/rbmfchttps://www.rbmfc.org.br/rbmfc/oai||david@sbmfc.org.br2179-79941809-5909opendoar:2020-05-21T20:22:05Revista Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade (Online) - Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina de Família e Comunidade (SBMFC)false
