Abstract Accidents and violence are responsible for high taxes of mortality and morbidity by the consequences of trauma. In this injuries the vertebral column traumas, specifically and with spinal injury are an important problem for Public Health, because the most of the victims are young persons in the top of her productive life. The most of injuries are responsible for irreversible consequences. Just a little number of epidemiologycals studies where found in Brazil. This research objective is describe the traumas´s hospitalizations by victims characteristics and external causes what was the basic cause for the hospitalization. The material reference are SUS hospitalizations (SIH/SUS) for column traumas (S12, S14, S17, S19, S22, S24, S28, S29, S32, S34, S38, S39, T02.0, T02.1, T04.1, T04.2, T09.3 e T09.4 da CID-10*). The column traumas are almost 0,2% by the total of Brazil´s hospitalizations and 2,7% by the injuries hospitalizations by external causes. This number was in elevation between the years f this research. The male group by 20-29 years old was most commun affected. The hospitalizations by consequence off falls show an elevation in elders group and female group. In the sacral level there is 60% by the total of hospitalizations follow by cervical level (28%). In the cervical level we can see the most causes of spinal injury with almost 45,8% by the total. Studying the external causes almost 40% by the hospitalizations in all years, are by traumas in consequence by falls. The traffic accidents are 30% and violence 7% by the total of hospitalizations. The middle time by the hospitalizations was between 8,2 to 9,2 days with important differences when analized in the level of injury. About costs, when compare with external causes general, the column traumas show higher values. This epidemiological analize could show interesting aspects about external causes with column traumas as consequence, information quality, costs, and victims by this kind of trauma, with important dates for actions for health promotion and care of this population. * CID 10ª Review, 1995 (AU) | |
