    Hospital morbidity of injured motorcyclists: factors associated with length of stay
    (Univ Fed Sao Paulo, Dept Enfermagen, 2016) de Araujo, Giane Leandro; Whitaker, Iveth Yamaguchi [UNIFESP]
    Objective: Identify factors of injured motorcyclists associated with hospital length of stay. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study of motorcyclists with acute traumatic injury admitted to three reference trauma hospitals in Sao Paulo. Medical records of patients and necropsy reports were analyzed to extract variables that could be associated with length of stay, followed by an analysis by multiple linear regression to verify associated factors. Results: One analysis of 91 motorcyclists showed that the following were associated with long length of stay (p<0.05): increased severity of trauma and infectious complications, pressure ulcers, rhabdomyolysis, and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Pressure ulcers and surgical site infections were predictors of long length of stay and death was a predictor of reduced length of stay. Conclusion: The factors associated with length of stay resulted from both traumatic injury and the care provided to injured motorcyclists.

    Lesões do aparelho locomotor nos acidentes com motocicleta
    (Sociedade Brasileira de Ortopedia e Traumatologia, 2010-01-01) Debieux, Pedro [UNIFESP]; Chertman, Carla [UNIFESP]; Mansur, Nacime Salomão Barbachan [UNIFESP]; Dobashi, Eiffel Tsuyoshi [UNIFESP]; Fernandes, Helio Jorge Alvachian [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Study conducted in the city of São Paulo from January 2001 to July 2002 with the goal of analyzing the profiles of individuals involved in motorcycle accidents, evaluating the rider's profile, the circumstances of the accidents, injuries, and the use of protective gear. 387 patients needing only traumatic orthopedic treatment were found, between 16 and 44 years of age, of which 354 were males (91.0%). The most common mechanism of trauma involved a collision between the motorcycle and another vehicle (67.0%) at a speed between 12.5-37.5 mph (73.0%) involving less experienced riders (67.0%) between 21 and 24 years of age (45%), and in which 532 (53.9%) lower limb injuries occurred. Of the injuries, 393 (39.8%) were wounds, 314 (31.8%) were bruises and 212 (21.5%) were fractures [foot, 34 (16%); femur, 32 (15.1%); ankle, 27 (12.7%); tibia, 25 (11.8%)]. Recurring accidents were observed in 231 (60.0%) cases and only 6.0% of the riders were not using protective equipment. Increased speed showed a higher rate of fractures when the Mann-Whitney test was applied (p = 0.001). Research on mechanical and traffic engineering, in combination with supervision and awareness-raising of the population, should be considered the most effective methods of prevention.

    O percurso terapêutico de motociclistas vítimas de acidente de trânsito e o retorno ao trabalho
    (Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2020-05-05) Lima, Jaqueline de [UNIFESP]; Alencar, Maria do Carmo Baracho de [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Aim: To investigate the therapeutic route of motorcyclists who have been victims of traffic accidents and about the process of returning to work, assisted by a rehabilitation service in the city of Santos/SP. Methods: The present study had two stages: (1) selection of motorcyclists victims of traffic accidents, attended at the Specialized Rehabilitation Center (CER) of the Municipality of Santos/SP in the period between October 2018 to May 2019 and application of a questionnaire designed to obtain sociodemographic and job; (2) conducting semi-structured interviews with these working motorcyclists attended at the unit, recorded for thematic content analysis. Results: 30 motorcyclists participated in the first stage, aged between 20 and 51 years old, from various professions, most of them male (53.3%), and from high school (60.0%) participated in the study. Regarding the injuries, 60.0% suffered fractures, 30.0% polytrauma, with the upper limbs being the most prevalent body region (46.6%). It was noted that 53.3% elapsed time from the accident until the evaluation in the rehabilitation service was 30 to 120 days and for 46.6% the rehabilitation started only after 120 days. Of the motorcyclists, 66.6% had previously suffered a traffic accident and involving a motorcycle before, and 76.7% were away from work, among other data. In the second stage, 10 motorcyclists were interviewed and, with their perceptions, the main themes emerged: the traffic accident: fear and insecurity; the itinerary and health assistance; removal from work and the rehabilitation process, and; expectations of returning to work. Conclusion: The sequence of events in the therapeutic itinerary was reported in the perception of motorcyclists. The identification of the main facilitators and barriers in the process and for returning to work provoked reflections on the problem, regarding the qualification of practices in prevention, promotion and rehabilitation in health with this population.
