Objectiveobjetivo:
to analyze traffic accident mortality in 33 cities in Argentina with a population of over 100,000 inhabitants during the period 2010-2016.
Methods:
Ecological study in 33 Argentine cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants. Data from the Dirección de Estadísticas e Información de Salud, linked to the cities of the SALURBAL project, were used. Deaths due to traffic accidents were identified with ICD-10 codes. Specific rates were calculated by age, sex and type of user, and age-adjusted rates were calculated using the direct method.
Results:
A total of 17,606 deaths were recorded. The crude rate was 8.65 per 100,000 population. Adjusted rates decreased in 2015 and 2016, with heterogeneity between cities. Males aged 20-24 years presented the highest risk. Automobile occupants had the highest rates in both sexes.
Conclusions:
This study provides an important advancement in the analysis of traffic accident mortality focused on large urban agglomerations in Argentina. These results, together with other approaches, allow for a comprehensive and detailed understanding of this complex problem in order to obtain valuable information that leads to effective and sustainable solutions for the prevention and reduction of traffic accidents, thereby improving road safety and protecting the health and lives of people.
