| Sažetak: | Introduction: Land transport accidents constitute a significant global public health problem due to its magnitude and transcendence, as well as to the high human and material costs that society entails. Due to the increase in the number of land transport accidents survivors with mild and severe injuries in recent years, to know the victims from the point of view of their epidemiological characteristics and their perception of the state of health, it becomes useful to better monitor the health of the victims provided health systems. Objective: To estimate the prevalence and identify the factors associated with land transportation accidents, as well as the self-rated health of the Brazilian population affected by this event, according to the National Health Survey, 2013. Method: Association study of factors that used data of the National Health Survey, conducted in 2013, through a population-based household survey, by the Ministry of Health and the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, in partnership with the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, conducted in August 2013 to February 2014. For the analysis of the data, the relative frequencies of the aspects related to land transportation accidents and self-rated health were calculated for the purposes of characterization of the study population. The associations were verified by the chi-square test, considering a level of significance of 5%. The crude and adjusted prevalence ratios were estimated using Poisson regression with robust variance, significance levels of 0.05. To estimate the adjusted prevalence ratios, we initially performed a bivariate analysis, which verified the association of land transport accidents with sociodemographic variables and those related to aspects of the occurrence; of precarious self-reported health with the sociodemographic, socioeconomic and inherent aspects of the consequence of the event. Associations that presented p value <0.05 were included in the multivariate model. Results: Of the total number of interviewees in the National Health Survey, 3.2% of the individuals reported having suffered land transportation accidents in Brazil. In the analysis of ground transportation accidents, sociodemographic variables and aspects involved in the event, male subjects (PR = 1.46 and 95% CI: 1.22-1.75), who reported not being married (PR = 1.30 and 95% CI: 1.12-1.52), motorcycle driving (PR = 2.41 and 95% CI: 1.84-3.15) were more likely to report involvement in ground transportation accidents. The variables age and frequency of motorcycle riding showed an inverse association with the outcome. In the analysis of self-rated health, socio-demographic variables and socioeconomic variables, individuals who were victims of road transport accidents that suffered sequels and/or disabilities (RP = 1.51 and 95% CI: 1.17-1.96), older than 40 (RP = 1.75 and 95% CI: 1.35-2.27), belonging to both social class D and E (RP = 2.82 and 95% CI: 1.58-5.00) and C (RP = 2.60 and 95% CI: 1.49-4.54) were more likely to self-assess health status as precarious. It is also necessary to highlight that sequela and/or incapacity is the main independent variable and the others are of adjustment. Conclusions: Land transportation accidents in Brazil are more prevalent in motorcyclists, male and unmarried. Those who have suffered sequels in accidents, with more advanced age and the economically disadvantaged classes, have a poorer health condition. Such results should support public policies and prevention programs, health promotion and traffic safety, with intersectoral action, which goes far beyond educational measures and media campaigns. |
