Resumo:
As causas externas representam atual desafio para as políticas públicas, destacando os acidentes na agenda pública de saúde. Este artigo objetiva descrever as características dos atendimentos de emergência agrupados na categoria “outros acidentes” do Inquérito VIVA 2009, em serviços públicos de Teresina-Piauí. Os dados foram coletados em formulário padronizado, digitados no Epi Info 3.5.1 e analisados no Stata 11 (módulo svy). Compararam-se as características relativas à vítima, ocorrência e atendimento, segundo faixa etária e tipo de acidente por meio do teste do qui-quadrado de Pearson. Do total de 2.061 atendimentos por causas externas, 677 (32,9%) foram devidos a “outros acidentes”, dos quais 202 (29,8%) foram por ferimento com objeto perfurocortante, 172 (25,4%) por queda de objeto sobre pessoa/choque de pessoas contra objeto, 111 (16,4%) por corpo estranho e 70 (10,3%) de acidentes com animais. Acidentes no domicílio, com lesões localizadas no tronco e com evolução para internação foi mais freqüentes em pacientes <20 anos (p<0,005). Identificaram-se diferenças significativas no padrão de ocorrência entre os tipos de acidentes. A magnitude desses eventos sugere a necessidade de programas que reduzam a vulnerabilidade aos acidentes, articulando ações de prevenção e promoção da saúde.

This article has as its objective to describe the characteristics of the emergency visits grouped in the “other accidents” category of the “VIVA” 2009 survey, in the public services of Teresina-Piauí. Data was collected from standard forms entered into Epi Info 3.5.1 and analyzed in Stata 11 (module svy). Characteristics related to the victims, the occurrence and care were compared according to age group and the type of accident thru the Pearson qui-square test. Among 2.061 external causes visits, 677 (32.9%) were due to “other accidents”, including 202 (29.8%) by wounds, 172 (25.4%) by fall of objects on the person or the person hitting an object, 111 (16.4%) by unknown object and 70 (10.3%) by accidents with beasts. Accidents in the household with injuries located on the torso with an evolution to hospitalization were greater in patients <20 years (p<0,005). Important differences were identified in the pattern of the occurrence among the types of accidents. The magnitude of these events suggests the need of programs that reduce the susceptibility to accidents, linking health promotion and prevention actions.
