Abstract:
The aim is to estimate the prevalence and assess the factors associated with productivity loss among workers injured in traffic accidents while performing work-related activities. A cross-sectional epidemiological study was conducted using data on work-related traffic accidents. Multilevel logistic regression models were applied to analyze factors associated with productivity loss. The overall prevalence of productivity loss was 81.04%. A significant association was observed between working in traffic and productivity loss in the outpatient care stratum. Female sex, age under 30 years, white race, other races, elementary education, urban residence, and being a motorcyclist were identified as risk factors for productivity loss among traffic-exposed workers. Sociodemographic and occupational factors, as well as accident-related characteristics, are associated with productivity loss among workers in traffic settings. Contextual variables influence the strength of these associations, highlighting the severity of occupational and traffic accidents as major public health issues. Understanding these factors is essential for the development of effective prevention and intervention strategies.
