Epidemiological Data on Injuries in Road Traffic Accidents. Surveys From the Period January 2017 to July 2020
Morbidity and Mortality Committee - AAOT
Abstract
The constant and progressive increase in mortality and disability caused by road traffic accidents is currently recognized as an endemic problem of Public Health in the national and global levels. WHO and multiple organizations work together to achieve a systematic record of road accidents and their consequences in terms of morbidity and mortality. The purpose is to generate information that contributes to decision-making in management and coordination of strategies to address this problem. Through the creation of the CMM (Morbidity and Mortality Committee) a decade ago, the AAOT has promoted the generation of a national registry of trauma injuries. This second report (based on the surveys accumulated from 2017 to July 2020) has as a general objective to describe the data collected in relation to trauma injuries caused by traffic accidents. The specific objective is to promote the incorporation of these surveys in our services, as a registration instrument. We call to renew the commitment of all institutions nucleated in this Association at the national level in the task of collecting epidemiological data that finally will allow us to improve the scientific validity of our practice and, therefore, of the publications of our specialty.Downloads
