Motorcycle accidents incur significant costs for university hospitals, averaging over $3,000 per patient. Implementing accident reduction strategies is crucial for managing these public health expenses.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Health Economics
- Trauma Care
Background:
- Motorcycle accidents present a substantial public health challenge.
- Associated treatment and rehabilitation costs strain healthcare services.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the economic impact of motorcycle accident costs.
- To analyze these costs within a university hospital setting in 2020.
Main Methods:
- Comparative analysis of patient costs.
- Data collected from motorcycle accident victims in 2020 and 2017.
Main Results:
- The study included 151 patients.
- Average cost per patient was $3,083.54 with an average hospitalization of 5.3 days.
- Average cost per patient per day was $581.80.
Conclusions:
- Motorcycle accident costs necessitate targeted intervention strategies.
- Developing and implementing accident prevention measures in Campinas is essential.
