Abstract
Objective: This work sought to describe the epidemiological profile of trauma victims treated in the city of Vitória da Conquista, Bahia, from 2017 to 2018. Methods: This is a descriptive, quantitative and retrospective study, with aggregate measures calculated from secondary data. For this, information on deaths and hospitalizations from the Mortality Information System (SIM / SUS) and the Hospital Information System (SIH / SUS) were used. Results: It was noticed that men were the most affected (80.3%), especially young people, with those aged between 15 - 59 years corresponding to 90.4% of all hospitalizations of male patients. In addition, it was evident that intracranial trauma is the traumatic etiology that most generates costs for the health system, constituting 51% of the total value. Conclusion: It was possible to perceive that the data from the city of Vitória da Conquista were consistent with the data evidenced in the literature, corroborating with the fact that the economically active population, especially those of the male sex, are the most affected by trauma.
