Abstract:

Objectives: This article discusses the relationship between mandatory restraint devices and hospitalizations and deaths of children agedzero to four years old in crashes in Brazil. Methodology: Based on the mandatory use of child restraint devices for children up to 4 years old under Brazilian traffic law in 2010, the authors apply datathe DataSUS and Denatran systems to analyse a time series of hospitalizations and deaths of children aged zero to four years old in crashesSeptember 2005 to August 2015. Two cut-offs were made, the first consisting in an analysis2005 to 2015, which was subsequently classified as two samples, before and after the requirement. Results: The results of both cut-offs suggest that demands concerning the use of restraint devices led to decreased children hospitalizations and deaths due to crashes regarding the age group0 to 4 years old, with a prevalence of decreased hospitalization rates over deaths.
