Resumen
GOMEZ-GARCIA, Antonio Ramón y MARTINEZ-JIMBO, Danilo. Home-workplace-home commuting lethality in Ecuador, 2014-2019 and 2020. Rev Asoc Esp Espec Med Trab [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.2, pp.189-197. Epub 22-Ago-2022. ISSN 3020-1160.
Objective:
To demonstrate the differences in fatality rates by place of occurrence (commuting = in itínere and during working hours) in the period from 2014 to 2019 and 2020 in Ecuador.
Material and Methods:
Analysis of 104,396 cases (1.2% fatal) using official records. Lethality Rates (LR) and Lethality Rate Ratio (LRR) were estimated by place of occurrence and separated by sex.
Results:
LR and LRR showed significant decreases. However, the odds of in itínere fatalities were higher in comparison to work-related fatalities, overall [1.51 (95%CI = 1.13-2.04); p = 0.006], in men, [1.58 (95%CI = 1.38-1.82); p = 0.000] and specifically in women, [5.93 (95%CI = 1.86-16.34); p = 0.001].
Conclusions:
Specific epidemiological studies should be carried out and more interest should be given to this occupational road safety problem in the design of public and occupational health strategies.
