RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To describe and analyze the aspects regarding the cost and length of stay for elderly patients with bone fractures in a tertiary reference hospital. METHODS: A cross-sectional retrospective study using data obtained from medical records between January and December 2020. For statistical analysis, exploratory analyses, Shapiro-Wilk test, χ2 test, and Spearman correlation were used. RESULTS: During the study period, 156 elderly patients (62.2% women) with bone fractures were treated. The main trauma mechanism was a fall from a standing height (76.9%). The most common type of fracture in this sample was a transtrochanteric fracture of the femur, accounting for 40.4% of cases. The mean length of stay was 5.25 days. The total cost varied between R$2,006.53 and R$106,912.74 (average of R$15,695.76) (updated values). The mean daily cost of hospitalization was R$4,478.64. A positive correlation was found between the length of stay and total cost. No significant difference in cost was observed between the two main types of treated fractures. CONCLUSION: Fractures in the elderly are frequent, resulting in significant costs. The longer the hospital stay for treatment, the higher the total cost. No correlation was found between total cost and number of comorbidities, number of medications used, and the comparison between the treatment of transtrochanteric and femoral neck fractures.

RESUMEN
Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the number of motorcycle accidents attended at a reference Hospital for trauma in Campinas, state of São Paulo, and the pandemic by COVID-19 during the year 2020. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive retrospective study carried out at Hospital PUC- Campinas, through the analysis of medical records of patients, victims of motorcycle trauma undergoing orthopedic surgical management in 2020. The phases of the pandemic and the isolation rates according to the São Paulo Plan were studied. Chi-Square tests, and the Least Squares method were applied for statistical calculations. Results: 155 medical records were analyzed, of which 91.61% of the patients were male. Of those admitted, 94.84% suffered fractures and 51.61%, polyfractures. There was a correlation between the average isolation rates and the number of accidents. In the 14-day period, as the average isolation rate increased by 10%, there was an increase of approximately 3 accidents in that period. In the 7-day analysis, 1.7 more traumas were observed for every 10% increase in the average isolation. Conclusion: The results suggest that by increasing the average isolation rate, the number of traumas per motorcycle treated at the institution increased. Level of Evidence III, Comparative Retrospective Study.
Objetivos: Analisar se houve relação do número de acidentes motociclísticos atendidos em um hospital referência para o tratamento de trauma em Campinas com a pandemia pela COVID-19 durante o ano de 2020. Métodos: Estudo transversal, retrospectivo descritivo, realizado no Hospital PUC-Campinas, por meio da análise de prontuários de vítimas de trauma por acidente de moto com conduta cirúrgica ortopédica em 2020. Foram estudadas as fases da pandemia e as taxas de isolamento de acordo com o Plano São Paulo (Plano SP). Utilizaram-se análises de p-valor usando testes qui-quadrado e o método de mínimos quadrados para cálculos estatísticos. Resultados: Foram analisados 155 prontuários de pacientes, dos quais 91,61% eram do sexo masculino. Dos internados, 94,84% sofreram fraturas e 51,61%, polifraturas. Houve correlação entre as taxas médias de isolamento com o número de acidentes. No período de 14 dias, à medida em que houve crescimento de 10% na média da taxa de isolamento, observou-se um aumento de aproximadamente três acidentes. Na análise de 7 dias, observou-se 1,7 traumas a mais a cada 10% do aumento da média de isolamento. Conclusão: Os resultados sugerem que, ao aumentar a taxa média de isolamento, houve um aumento do número de traumas por acidente de moto atendidos na instituição. Nível de Evidência III, Estudo Retrospectivo Comparativo.
RESUMEN
Traffic-accidents are a public health problem with repercussions on population morbimortality. Objective: To analyze the impact of the pandemic on the profile of motorcycle accidents assisted at the Tertiary Hospital in 2020. Methods: Cross-sectional, descriptive retrospective study in 2017 and 2020 of 260 medical records of care for motorcycle accidents in the emergency room of the Tertiary Hospital. Statistical analysis of data and their correlations using the chi-square test (p < 0.05). Results: Of the 105 medical records in 2017, 83% are men, mean age 29.8 years, and death rate of 3.90%. Fractures in 98.10%, 64.10% exposed and predominantly the tibia (61.90%). Of the 155 medical records in 2020, 91.61% are men, mean age 31.21 years, and no deaths. Fractures in 94.84%, 37.42% exposed and predominantly the tibia (28.57%). Between 2017 and 2020, Infosiga-SP showed a relevant reduction (p < 0.001) of deaths in the hospital environment (52.46% to 31.91%). Conclusion: The incidence of motorcycle accidents increased, in-hospital deaths dropped, but the epidemiological profile of accidents at the Hospital remained unchanged. Level of Evidence III, Comparative Retrospective Study.
Acidentes motociclísticos configuram um problema de saúde pública com repercussões na morbimortalidade populacional. Objetivo: Analisar o impacto da pandemia por COVID-19 no perfil de acidentes motociclísticos atendidos em um hospital terciário em 2020. Métodos: Estudo transversal, descritivo e retrospectivo que analisou 260 prontuários de acidentados de moto atendidos na Urgência e Emergência do Hospital Universitário Terciário em 2017 e 2020. Realizou-se uma análise estatística dos dados e suas correlações pelo teste qui-quadrado (p < 0,05). Resultados: Dos 105 prontuários de 2017, 83% são de homens (p < 0,001), com média de 29,8 anos, e índice de óbito de 3,90%. Houve fraturas em 98,10% dos casos, sendo 58,10% expostas e predominantemente da tíbia (61,90%). Dos 155 prontuários de 2020, 91,61% são homens (p < 0,001), com média de 31,21 anos e sem casos de óbito. Houve fraturas em 94,84%, sendo 37,42% expostas e predominantemente da tíbia (28,57%). Entre 2017 e 2020, o Infosiga-SP mostrou redução significativa (p < 0,001) de mortes em ambiente hospitalar (de 52,46% para 31,91%). Conclusão: Houve aumento na incidência dos acidentes motociclísticos e queda nos óbitos intra-hospitalares, mas o perfil epidemiológico dos acidentados no hospital permaneceu inalterado.
