Social And Hospital Costs Of Patients Admitted To A University
The present study aimed to investigate the social and hospital costs of patients treated at a public hospital who were motorcycle crash victims. It was a retrospective cross-sectional study that included 5,597 motorcyclists traumatized in traffic accidents in 2013. Results showed that the costs were high, with an average loss of R$17,555 per patient. A separate study conducted in 2020 at a university hospital in Brazil also found that motorcycle-related accidents resulted in high hospital costs. A total of 151 admissions generated a total cost of U$197,555. This highlights the need for further prevention and safety measures to reduce the social and financial burden of motorcycle crashes in Brazil.
