Data were collected through a direct household survey. The research sample consisted of 1,840 individuals who reported road traffic accidents in the previous 12 months.

The frequency of hospitalization was 7.7% (95% CI: 6.0\u201310.0) and the associated factors were: age between 40 and 59 years; being a motorcycle occupant or pedestrian and having received on-site care at the moment of the road traffic accident. The prevalence of sequelae and\/or disability was 15.1% (95% CI: 12.5\u201318.2) and the associated factors were: age range between 30 and 39 years or 40 and 59 years; being a motorcycle occupant, being a pedestrian or belonging to other category of modes of transport and having received on-site care at the moment of the road traffic accident.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The study allowed to evaluate the factors associated with prehospital care, hospitalization and presence of sequelae and\/or disability in the victims of road traffic accident and the results can guide the implementation of interventions that prioritize the population exposed to the highest risk of road traffic accident injuries and with less access to prehospital and hospital care services in Brazil.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0249895","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,16]],"date-time":"2021-04-16T18:32:23Z","timestamp":1618597943000},"page":"e0249895","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Use of prehospital, hospitalization and presence of sequelae and\/or disability in road traffic injury victims in Brazil"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Gabriela Camargo","family":"Tobias","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Polyana Maria Pimenta","family":"Mandacar\u00fa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5171-7958","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Rafael Alves","family":"Guimar\u00e3es","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Otaliba Lib\u00e2nio","family":"Morais Neto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0249895.ref001","unstructured":"World Health Organization (WHO).
