Abstract(s)
O contexto pandémico que vivemos veio realçar o significado e impacto
das medidas de prevenção. Importa, assim, olharmos para eventos mais
comuns, alguns deles evitáveis, como são os Acidentes Domésticos e de
Lazer (ADL), em que comportamentos mais seguros no quotidiano poderão
evitar impacto negativo na saúde e o recurso a serviços de saúde. A
informação gerada pelo sistema EVITA permitiu desenvolver o presente
estudo com o objetivo de conhecer a evolução dos episódios de ADL
com necessidade de recorrência ao Serviço de Urgência, com base nos
registos hospitalares, entre 2017 e 2020. Verificou-se que, desde março
de 2020, tem vindo a ocorrer uma diminuição do número de episódios de
ADL registados no sistema EVITA, tendo o menor valor sido registado no
mês de abril (n=16 984). Os episódios de ADL registados entre março e
novembro de 2020 mantiveram-se sempre abaixo dos valores observados
nos períodos homólogos dos últimos quatro anos.
The pandemic context we are experiencing has highlighted the meaning and impact of preventive measures, so it is important to look at more frequent events and some of them predictable, such as Home and Leisure Accidents (HLA), while safer behaviour in everyday life can avoid negative impact on health and the use of health services. The information generated by EVITA made it possible to develop the present study in order to understand the evolution of HLA episodes, which required emergency room healthcare, based on hospital records, between 2017 and 2020. It was found that, since march 2020, there has been a decrease in the number of HLA episodes registered in EVITA system, with the lowest value being registered in april (n=16 984). The episodes of HLA recorded between march and november 2020 have always remained below the values observed in the same periods of the last four years.
